Writer's Block is Real!

I’m going to pretend it’s not been more than a month since I posted on my blog and move straight to the point.


I’d apologize later. However, I must gloat say it felt so good receiving several pings, mails, Facebook chat, phone calls wondering whether I was ok and why I had not written in a while and how boring some peoples' lives have become as I've not shared any humorous tale of late.
Ok, nobody said that last part. But it was implied.


And after some minutes of each inquiry, I understood how Beyoncé and Rihanna feels whenever they climb on stage and people start screaming.

Thank you all! Thank you! I am quite fine as you can see.
The truth was that I had the biggest writer’s block any writer could have ever experienced. Mine was even so funny because it seemed convincingly like I had been jazzed because the people that were pursuing doing me allowed me open a word pad excitedly while ready to share several funny occasions and even allowed me come up with several formats for my blog titles.

1)   How to Become……

2) The Shocking Truth about….

3) Why my Husband is actually……

4) The 7 ways to know….

5) Why Ebola cannot……

6) Is it Possible to…..

7) How to Spot a …….

8) Living without the………

9) The Amazing Moment that…..

10)   The Day I knew….

Hian! Such a wicked world.

It was after I had typed out a title that they'd now ring the writer's block bell in my ears and I'd just go blank. (Nollywood ninjas will understand this scenario well). Because for each title I could come up with, the more it seemed like I was submitting an essay for an exam or writing a descriptive essay for a competition.  

Ko make sense rara mehn! Nice one aiye, nice one!

It was just too spiritual that I could use my mind to come up to 100 titles but no contents for any of them. None whatsoever! 

Is that one not Jazz? I always know what topics to write on but I simply couldn't go past that- the titles. I couldn't even start with a topic sentence. And hubby did not help matters as he kept asking whether I had fulfilled all wifely duties that I wanted to start writing. I became convinced my hubby enemies had caught up with me.

It was scary though, but I’m back now. Opelope prayers and fasting(Yup, I missed some meals)

Better.

More funny.

More Sarcastic.

Still upset with the government human race in general though!

Tomorrow is another day, for another interesting blog post. I even have a title already - The 99 Problems with Stolen Meats.
