Writing Prompt #4


Anyone who has attempted to write the world's next greatest novel quickly learns how difficult writing is and how so few hours are spent physically writing. And while time spent away from the computer and thinking can be just as productive as actually writing, a writer must eventually put their backside in the chair and write.

Using the pie chart above as inspiration, write a story about a writer who is struggling with the writing process. Whether your protagonist's problem is writer's block, distractions like facebook, or a messy closet that suddenly needs to be cleaned, we hope this exercise will help him/her find his way back into the chair, writing.
