"I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rythmn..."

( "...ok...relax...there are more themes or ideas or topic for Hubs in your head...somewhere"!... ) Don't panic!

Is there any more gut-wrenching feeling of helplessness and inadequacy than the feeling that rises when you sit at a computer, determined to write (a Hub, blog Post, journal entry) and realise that all you can do is sit and stare at the blank, white screen? All the clever ideas, the catchy cultural references, the snide remarks about public figures...the really great ideas that you had somehow fleeing the room like...like...( there! thats what I mean! you know you had something, a metaphor-like phrase involving school kids... all of a sudden gone, just like that. )
To the experienced writers out there, this is probably not such a oh-god-what-do-I-do-now kind of moment, but I am not an experienced writer. To me, the prospect of having nothing to write is not so amusing.

As must by now be abundantly clear, I am 'out here' and only the thought that I do not have to hit save or Publish, keeps me from hitting delete and going to Second Life spending time being really productive. (lol, that a joke)
So the topic of this Hub appears to be Writer's Block. Guess I better come up with something useful or novel or helpful or clever about dealing with Writer's Block.

There are, of course, no shortage of advice-blogs about overcoming Writers Block. Many of these sites offer advice at no charge, some will charge a fee, all will promise relief from that unbearable feeling of "if I have nothing to Write, why would anyone pay attention to me ? And while one solution to today's Writers Block would be to copypaste a bunch of links and synopsiseses of these other blogs, I had better simply say what I believe.
The advice that I have most taken to heart and therefore will pass on, is simply, 'write what you know, stick with the topics, (the) subject matter that you genuinely enjoy'. Sound advice.

To combine today's topic with the subject closest to my heart, (the Wakefield Doctrine, of course!) and Writers Block, we are left with the question,
"What does the Doctrine have to contribute to an overcoming Writers Block and in a more general sense, what does the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers have to say about Writers and the act of Writing"?
Before we go into that, a quick plug for the Doctrine. If you go to 'the google' and type: the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) you will find a resource that will lay out our little theory of personality. If you do this, then what follows should make some sense?

The question: which of the three personality types are 'the best Writers' and which (of the three) does the best here in the blogosphere?
The correct answer is: rogers .

rogers are the social personality. The 'reality' of the rogerian personality is totally about the group, the herd. Sharing the world among the members of the herd is what rogers are all about! The (writing) style of rogers is, as a result, one that is immediately accessible, non-argumentative, soothing; they are the natural storytellers.

clarks on the other hand, are not so in-touch. clarklike writers will not be the favorite 'read' for someone who simply wants to pass some time in a non-mentally-challenging way. clarks are, however, the creative ones. They will experiment both with style and with content, usually at the cost of readership.

scotts tend not to be so much into the writing, they prefer the more direct forms of communication, you know, shouting in your face (lol, a Doctrine joke).

DId somebody say give us examples? Alright, why the hell not (but you still need to go to the Doctrine to have these examples make any real sense).

clarklike Writers: EE Cummings, James Joyce

scottian Writers: Allen Ginsberg, Mickey Spillane

rogerian Writers: Stephen King, Homer (the Illiad, not Simpson)

So there you have it. The Cure for Writers Block. Examples of Writers according to personality type as defined in the Wakefield Doctrine... and a music video

( ...the video? that is something we do at the Doctrine all the time, but in the case of this hub this particular video formed the seed of the hub itself...the lyric to be precise...never gonna write again... yeah, I know...hey you asked!...)
