Dear Writer’s Block

by Tandy Balson

Dear Writer’s Block.

It’s not you, it’s me. Our relationship has had its ups and downs and I take responsibility for most of our issues.

You have been faithful and accepted my indecision with patience. Your lessons of procrastination and excuses were what I needed in a difficult time of my life. 

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and realized that I am unable to commit to a long term relationship with you. There are thoughts, ideas and inspiration I need to share with the world. Because of this, I believe it is time for us to go our separate ways. It’s not easy to say goodbye, but I need to make a clean break and not see you again.

I know there is someone out there who will be better able to embrace all you have to offer. I also know with all my heart, that someone is not me.

    I hope Writer’s Block got the message and left to plague someone else.

    1. I refuse to even glance in its direction. The breakup seems to have been very beneficial for me.

      A plague I would not want to have.

  2. But writers block is like a bad penny. It keeps turning up. ???

      But like the penny, it will disappear in time.
