How to Alleviate Writer's Block #1

Astonished GP: What appears to be the trouble?

Writer: I have a blockage.

GP: Dear me, that sounds painful. Can you point to where it hurts?

Writer: Everywhere.

GP: Can you be a little more specific? Is it your stomach, your chest, your head?

Writer: All of the above. It's my creative streak, you see.

GP: Oh... right. Well I can see it looks very sore. We could amputate.

Writer: What would that involve?

GP: Well, we'd starve it of oxygen and cut off its blood supply until it eventually drops off.

Writer: Will that cure it?

GP: Oh definitely. You'll starting talking about your pension plan and sensible things like statistics within no time at all. And you'll never have a creative thought inside your head again. You'll be back to normal.

Writer: Mmm...have you got any other suggestions?

GP: Well... you could become a teacher. It's just more of the same, really.I understand you'll be forced to spend a lot of time ticking boxes and expected to understand strange equations involving lists of numbers, that sort of thing. Oh, and you'll have to be super-organized, as if you're running an entire planet. That ought to cure you.

Writer: I've tried that already.

GP: And did you grow up a bit and become conventional and talk about your pension plan?

Writer: Not really...

GP: Well I'm afraid I can't help you then. You're absolutely incurable.

Writer: Is that good or bad?

GP: You tell me! And next time come here with a proper disease, would you, and stop wasting everybody's time?

Writer: Right-oh!
