Writer's Block

I have stupid writer's block again. I hate it. It is my greatest adversary. Someday I think I will write a book where Writer's Block is the villain. With most people I think writer's block is based in their creativity; they literally don't know what to write next. I base this on several tips on defeating writer's block I read in a magazine. The tips were things like, "Think of something completely crazy to throw at your characters to make them overcome". Sorry, but that doesn't help me. I'm not looking for a mini little sub-adventure in the middle of my book. That's for people with no creativity or are making the book up as they go along (not necessarily a bad thing). I am neither, I know exactly what I have to write, there is no getting around it, I just can't. My main character is trying to convince his brother to join him, but the brother just came up with a good argument and I can't think of how to convince him, (sigh) stupid character.

Seriously though, they are in the middle of an argument and I have writer's block. I can't have Raban be like, "Oh look, there is a random army of invading Ostrogoths, lookout. Quick, let's overcome them. That was a close on. Anyway back to our argument."

And then his brother's like, "Well, I think we had so much fun killing Ostrogoths maybe I will join you guys."

Actually, that was pretty sweet. Maybe I will have that happen. But first I have to go look up when the Ostrogoths were around.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. The Ostrogoths disappeared about 500 years too early. I suppose I will have to have Raban convince him through logic and (shudder) intellectual dialogue (that stuff is so hard to write). There are some things that fight scenes can't progress and no matter how hard I try, they seem to keep prying their way back into my story.

(Just to clarify, while my story is violent the above statement is for humorous effect only and I would like to believe that Rooks of Burgundy is slightly more intelligent than I make it sound. Only slightly though.)

By the way, I was going to make fun of you for not appreciating my satire in the previous post, but I couldn't think of a good way to make satire of a satire. Wait. Did I just do that. Don't worry, I appreciate the freedom of speech. Japan did not want to invest in an asset of such falling value. At what point does hilarious suddenly become politically incorrect. Pay attention. Satire satire, what does it mean? The best is when the person who is laughing is the target and they don't know it. Are you following me?
