One of the reasons I don’t read magazines geared toward women is that people who write for said publications all seem to assume women are vapid, shallow, and lacking in thought, creativity, and common sense.

Of course, so called ‘mens mags’ aren’t any better, making men out to be drooling, single-minded cavemen attracted by shiny things (cars and gadgets) and bouncy things (boobs).

I guess when people think with their hoochies, sense goes awry.

I’m just stunned that the word “super” would actually make it past an editor’s desk to the cover of a magazine.

Fret not, I’m not rethinking my career, just my frequent usage of the term, “writer’s block.” I’ve got to come up with a new excuse.

Julianne:
I rarely make things up (I do doctor photos and I really don’t perform surgery, but everything else is mostly factual). That title came from either a “Self” magazine or “Glamour” magazine cover, I can’t recall which. Do not for heaven’s sake, rethink your career based on my post. One size does not fit all! Whatever you’re doing, keep right on doing it!

Was there really an article entitled, “99 Ways to Look Super” or did you just make that up?

I’ve got to ponder this writer’s block claim of yours. Sometimes my best writing moments are when the rest of my life is crumbling around me. Maybe motivation to write and every day productivity, for me, are mutually exclusive.

Damn! I’ve got to rethink my whole career because of you!

“writer’s rebellion”… i love it. I’ll never say writer’s block again!

As for me, so-called writer’s block is a myth. In the 1970s I once cranked out 7 books in one year. The material and ideas were coming at me so fast and furiously that I could hardly type fast enough–on my old IBM Selectric typewriter–to keep up.

I agree with you! I don’t think there is “block” either. I think that we just don’t want to do it. We may have to do it to get paid, but we still don’t want to and therefore have block. When I want to do something I am super motivated… imagine that!
