Sadness about the block, I’m just working my way around one myself, its been here for so long now I’ve almost forgotten how to write!
I’m planning my own trip to NYC, though I guess it might be a bit bigger of a deal for me as I am younger (old enough to read this blog though!) and Canadian. I’m taking a certian gentleman friend of mine though, and hoping to get a bit of exhibitionism going on while we are there. . .I’m thinking Central park, or the Staten Island ferry. What are your NYC plans?

Oh baby girl I hope first and foremost you’re feeling better.

Writer’s block is sucky for sure.

Just turn off the computer for awhile and let blogland be without Lily. You will miss it I am sure and then have something to write about.

Ah, me ADD too…*sigh*. I am totally, completely, 100% in tune with your writing block. Mine’s been in place for quite some time. In fact, I’m suffering major creative block overall.

I know as well that it’s also related to the “ooooo, something new has caught me eye…pretty sparkly things”…like a damn crow…always off on some new tangent. Hence my follow through and completion skills get put to the test big time.

NYC…St. Mark’s place, eat knishes with onions and mustard, meander Broadway south of 14th street/Union Square. If of the mind, head to Paddles (they have a website with info). Must visit Macy’s, Bloomingdales or Saks. Ooooooooohhhh…FAO Schwarz, they have the floor piano from the movie Big. And up in that area is Van Cleef and Arpel, Tiffany’s, etc. so nice eye candy. Bergdorf Goodman does fabulous window treatments and I mean fabulous. There’s Rockefeller Plaza as well. Take the subway at least once and a cab. My kids always get a kick out of the cab drivers and their apparent lack of following the traffic laws *grin*. Sssssssshhhhhh…I drive like that in NY as well…LOL

Oh, Sephora!!! Must visit Sephora!! Ok, I think I’m finished…*wink*

Enjoy your trip!!

as a fellow ADD sufferer, I know how ya feel. I have the same issue – not for a blog, but simply trying to chart for work. Heck sometimes my mind goes blank on me when I’m attempting to talk to a patients family, not exactly a good thing to happen to a nurse.

as for NYC.. the Village, SoHo, any on/off broadway show (Avenue Q, Wicked.. ). Make sure to enjoy a ‘Dirty Water Dog’ & a ‘Street Pretzel’

~ Sadly I don’t think theres enough time (or money, this trip) for anything Broadway. I do want to see Wicked. Second suggestion for a Street Dog, I guess I’ll hafta hunt that down!

Whoa, I totally get writer’s block. Especially when I’m stressed or sick. Or sad.

I agree with Shon. Take a break and don’t feel a bit guilty about it.

I’ve had my share of writer’s block too, and I have a list of several half-started posts that just don’t seem to go anywhere as well. Stress certainly plays into it. My solution is to just let it be. Write when you feel it, don’t try to force it.

Another solution, when I am sick of “letting it be” is to jog my writing with silly “Question of the Day” writing. There are several websites out there that do this: http://questions.vox.com/ lists questions for you to ponder on your own, http://www.experienceproject.com/question-of-the-day is a kind of interactive QOTD site, and http://www.writingfix.com/Classroom_Tools/dailypromptgenerator.htm is a “writing prompt generator.” I don’t usually use any of these to blog about, but more to kick-start my brain into thinking about writing again.

Good luck!

Speaking for myself, I’m just glad to see you haven’t disappeared. Thanks for sharing even the boring bits of yourself with us. :)

I think I’ve posted twice this month. I’m sick and have been for two weeks now, I’ve got so much going on with family and I’m stressed as hell. I blame all of that for my lack of inspiration for writing and blogging, lol.

I wish I had some NYC tips to offer you at least. I’ve never been. One day I will get there and wreck havoc on a small portion of that huge place. Hopefully, lol.

I have a question. My friends daughter asked me and I’ve quite lamely been asking everyone in my real life because I find it amusing. If you had to live off three carnival foods (funnel cake, turkey legs, popcorn, etc) for six months and wouldn’t gain any weight or be dealt any health issues during that six months, what three carnival foods would you pick to eat? I know, it’s a lame and silly question but I’ve had fun hearing what people would pick and seeing if I guessed right or not, lol.

Hope your writers block takes a hike soon. Take care you.

~ Aw, I hope you start feeling better! Hmmm well, I think I’d have to pick nachos so that I have “cheese”, funnel cake for the sweet one, anddddddd…..I think I’d go for burgers. While I do so love turkey legs, I tend to get sickof them easily (we have turkey every other week)

Writer’s block is such a bitch.

I’ve only been to NY once and I’m not sure I can make any amazing recommendations – but I hear the naked cowboy in Times Square is worth a gander and I really enjoyed the MOMA.

xxxx

~ Oddly in the two times I’ve been to NYC I think I only saw Times Square from a few blocks away. I’m trying to figure out the admission fees to get into the museums, bc I’m also interested in the Cloisters Garden at the Met.
