Talking about that… earlier today, my Artist was working that rice-cooker magic (you know, two cups of rice per one cup of water and fairy dust to taste), and he asked me if I was getting tired of rice.He didn’t seem concerned — like, "Max you have a rice problem" —...

Hello there~ ♥︎
Well, I have covered the issue of writer’s block quite a few times already. I would recommend you take a look at my (growing) collection of masterposts on writing advice. I promise you that you will overcome writer’s block, I know you will :D
