For about two years, I used to lie on the leopard print rug on the living room floor every evening, staring at the fly poop speckles on the ceiling, whispering, ‘I have nothing… nothing…’
Now, writers like to call this writer’s block. But we don’t have a leather-elbow-patched monopoly on this feeling. Pretty much every working creative knows the sensation.
