Right before writing this I had a serious battlewith ‘Writer’s Block’...luckily for me, it’s a curable condition. Not many knowthis, as rare as it is, it’s very much possible that The Block (lets refer toit this way from here on) causes death. There is no need to be frightened for your dear life though (I think...)What it can and does kill is moods, it can kill passion, entire days sometimesand in the worst scenario cases I have knowledge of is careers...yes it cankill your career, depending of course on ones aspirations and profession. I remember at one particular time not too longago my aspirations had a near death experience, they were unconscious and I hadto check them in my own sub-conscious institution (turns out I have one).
So anyway what happened initially is that I thoughtThe Block was just threatening a fellow, “an idiotic itty bitty threat” Ithought to myself. But days passed (bearin mind the nights accompanied them) and the condition worsened. What happened is The Block was not workingalone this time, he had a co-worker, the effortlessly gorgeous, Ms Procrastination,the heavily experienced seducer…she will seduce any living male specimen, shedoes it with finesse, perhaps a better way to put it would be she reeks of‘SWAG’, she has Style With Attitude and Grace (in the ‘purest’ form, might Iadd). See all these qualities she possesses have dangerously enhanced herseductive skills; I was even quite surprised in the pictured dictionary thereisn’t an image of her dressed in red-laced lingerie next to the word ‘SEDUCE’.
What this devious & gorgeous Ms Procrastinationdoes is she makes you feel at ease about pressured tasks. She smoothly operateson your conscious and convinces every nerve and muscle in your body that it isokay to do it later (a ‘later’ that sometimes never arrives). And its funny howyou don’t feel bad about it…until its too late, and by late, I mean late, lateto the point where its to late to react upon the vast elapsed time and worst ofall its too late to blame anybody…but yourself, see that’s the funny thingabout this whole “Seducenario”, she comes swiftly, she initiates, sheimpresses…she impresses some more, verdict?... your timeless self (literally)gets to fumble under pressure. Hmmmmmm!!!? Fair, huh? Now because thestrikingly attractive Ms Proscrastination is as I just said it would be wise toact upon time and charm her, thus being in control of your time and remembershe is only just a part of mind…don’t defeat yourself.
