You Might Have Writer's Block If...

1. Instead of writing, you are suddenly seized with the excited urge to scrub the entire bathroom with a toothbrush.

2. You feel more inspired by the possibility that you hair may have split personalities (in addition to split ends) than you do about your current work-in-progress.

3. You consider counting your daily blog post toward your word count total for the day.

4. You find yourself hoping for those annoying political survey phone calls just for an excuse to be distracted.

5. A trip to the grocery store begins to sound very appealing. After all, you are all out of munchies. Who can write without munchies??

6. You wish a guy would float past you standing in a row boat so you could chase after him.

7. You contemplate taking a nap and counting it as time spent "brainstorming."

8. The phone does ring with one of those political survey calls, and you chat it up with the survey proctor and are disappointed bordering on slightly annoyed when they insist they have to return to work now, and you must hang up.

9. You reread the last ten pages you've written and find even yourself bored.

10. You find yourself counting how many times the cursor blinks on your screen.
