Comments on: NCBI ROFL: The unsuccessful self-treatment of a case of "writer's block". http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2010/12/28/ncbi-rofl-the-unsuccessful-self-treatment-of-a-case-of-writers-block/ Sat, 11 May 2013 22:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Kevin http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2010/12/28/ncbi-rofl-the-unsuccessful-self-treatment-of-a-case-of-writers-block/#comment-24048 Kevin Wed, 29 Dec 2010 19:11:25 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/?p=15248#comment-24048 This reminds me of my first year of college, and having to write a paper in English Lit. We had to write it in class, and I couldn't figure out what to write. So finally I just wrote down "I don't know what to write" and it snowballed from there. I did 5 pages on not knowing what to write. Good thing the professor had a sense of humor, because she loved it. Years later, people told me that I should have been a writer on "Seinfeld" because it was a show about nothing, and I wrote a paper about nothing. :) This reminds me of my first year of college, and having to write a paper in English Lit.
