A particular kind of stuckness

[truepenny]

From a conversation with matociquala about why none of my short stories work currently:

It's like being a rat and working your way through a maze, and then the researcher says, "Okay, the next step is, you have to fly." And you're a rat. You don't even know where to go to get wings.

There's clearly something my brain is trying to figure out, but I don't know what it is or how to help. But, you know, sooner or later you can expect a lot of flying rats.

You know, now either you or matociquala need to write the flying rat story or let someone else have it. :)

Edited because I can spell and do know the difference between "or" and "are," I swear to the heavens.

I second this. Especially if the story still manages to somehow be about writers and writers block.
