I often hear talk about writer's-block (when a writer can't write). Eep, that sounds terrible (I actually say, eep). Thankfully, I have never been afflicted. I've always got plenty to say (in person, however, I usually know when to shut up:).

But I do have a writer-related problem that I'd like to share. It seems only fitting to share it with you, my dedicated, traveling friends, because you already know so much about me from the online book.

For me, at times, writing has been a giant pain in the asterisk. But not for the problem(s) you might think. Go ahead. Think of every problem you can, why writing might be a pain for Alan. I'll wait. La la la. Hmm-hmm-hmm. Doowap shabop ditty dee. Ta ta tata ta. Done yet? And the problems are? Wrong.

The number one problem that Alan has, when writing is:

Alan gets bored! ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.

Yes, it can sometimes be a real sleep-fest to write.

It's almost like a: "what-i-did-over-my-summer-vacation-type-of-boredom".

Well, I don't wanna be bored! And I don't want you to be bored!

My solution (of course:), is to find off-beat ways, to present my writing. I try to lose the text-book jargon and have a few laughs.

And why do I tell you all of this? How the heck should I know?

But it makes a nice transition back to the game show.

Eep.
