Sorry this is a lame post but I'm just not feeling like me lately. For those of you, like me, who's nose is constantly buried in a book, you may know Andre Dubus and the tradegy he experienced. For those of you who do not...Andre was driving home one night when he saw a man and a woman standing by their car in another lane. After pulling over to lend assistance, he was hit by an oncoming car. As a result of the injuries he suffered, Andre was never able to walk again and naturally fell in to a deep depression. Tobias Wolff, another writer, called Andre after his accident. When Andre heard Tobias' voice he broke down, cried and told Tobias that he wasn't able to write anymore and asked why he couldn't. Tobias said he couldn't write because his body was broken and his body and spirt are one and that they were both mending. Perhaps that is the root of my writer's block? My body isn't broken but I do know my spirit is.
