Most days, it takes me bloody forever just to write simple sentences. "Writer's block" doesn't quite convey what it feels like; 'twould be so much more puissant to say it feels like {you should excuse the, no pun intended, expression} mental constipation...
I have this image of my right & left brain hemispheres clenched together like little wrinkly butt cheeks, futilely straining to express thought...
... oh, well, gosh, if that's not a Freudian slip indicating what I subconsciously think about my mind's creative product...
Must find another metaphor... or consume more intellectual roughage...
