Writer’s block in full force I reach out, “What would you write about this one?”
“Romance of course. Reunited and it feels so good…
“Ugh! Now Reunited is running through my head. I suppose I could try and channel a little romance today.”
“I say go with what feels most instinctive. You seem to gravitate to very personal loss stories, which you write beautifully, so why mess with that?
Now, if you’re in the mood for romance, there are other ways to channel it… 😉
No, I won’t stop bugging you, as you very well know.”
The Yente strikes again!

Which of you won?
I beat the Writer’s block and the Yente and I are currently at a stale mate.
…there’s always…another day…
I can see you’re an advocate for Yentes. She’ll be thrilled to know she has an ally in the realm of romance. 😉 Or are you foretelling the return of the dreaded WB?
I’m for romance…but fortunetelling intrigues me…
Well then my personal Yente is right up your alley. She is both. And constantly warning me romance is coming.
This week’s prompt was tough for me too. I like the way you handled it. 🙂
Thank you. I actually managed to write a tale after Rochelle informed me you only get to cry writer’s block once. But I liked this one too well not to post it.
Interestingly, I wrote the words to that song on a friend’s FB page, as she just met up with her love. Dang, now it’s looping back through my brain, after finally getting rid of it a couple of hours ago! Very clever play of dialogue and frustration of writer’s block. Clearly, you’re not blocked. 😉
That song infiltrates and now I see can come back and haunt another type of sneak attack like my Yente friend.
Thanks TFTM
Indeed. 😉
This was a story of hope for writers with writer’s block. I love the “won’t stop bugging you” part! 😀
Thanks Linda
In just 100 words, you cover a couple of deep areas here, from writer’s block and keeping with what you usually do versus branching out. And you did it with nice flourishes — “Reunited” immediately played in my mind when I read that.
Reunited is still in my head this morning. It has become attached to that photograph.
Rochelle said I can only write a “non-story” once. So next time WB of *%^&*# hits the fan I’ll have to hire a ghost writer.
Dear Dana,
Let’s get together and slap Rochelle for her bad, very bad, very very bad comment. Your story made me cry. Loved the last line.
Aloha,
Doug
Baaaaaad to da bone.
Thanks Doug. But no slapping Rochelle no matter how cheeky she is.
Nice story, and a great comment from Rochelle too! ‘many splintered thing’. Well done.
Thanks Sandra
Now that song is running through my head, too!
Fun, fun piece. 🙂
Totally addictive. I can give you a new one if you want to change the channel?
Dear Dana,
Writers block can be a many splintered thing. My great-grandmother’s name was Yente. Just thought I’d throw that in. 😉 I like the dialogue and the back story inferred behind it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Rochelle,
You made me smile- thanks for that. And for linking my “non-story” story. Love that your grandmother is a Yente.
Dana
