About that writing thing...
A blank page can be a very intimidating thing. I'm sure many, many writers have, over the years, tried to sneak around a case of writer's block by writing about writer's block. So I think I'll not do that, it would take a special spin or talent to make that into an interesting topic. Actually, no. I don't think it could be an interesting topic at all, but the right person could at least make it an interesting story.
Dave Barry would, I'm sure make it hilarious, probably linking it somehow to an international conspiracy involving exploding toilets and possibly boogers. I can take an educated guess and say that he would conclude that if we give in to writer's block, the terrorists have won. There's nothing like a dose of writer's block to make you snort milk out of your nose when it happens to the right guy.
On the other hand, Stephen King, while also subscribing to a conspiracy theory, wouldn't be blaming terrorists, rather he'd convince us that shadowy men in yellow coats driving flashy cars were behind a plot to drain the brains of any writers who showed any promise, thus paving the way for the nefarious plans of the man in black, or his boss, the evil Crimson King. The scheme will of course be foiled by a group of kids from an idyllic New England childhood, who will lose their innocence in the process.
