Question:Writer’s Block

He pokes at the keyboard and sighs;
the cursor blips like radar
tracking dead air.

words appear only to disappear-
one letter at a time
or in whole bloody chunks.

The beginning is always beginning
and the end is too possible to contemplate.

He’s stuck in the middle, mired
in the quicksand that is life.

That DIDN'T suck at all.
I'm surprised.

Not bad....there's a few lines you could work on ~ eg. "or in whole bloody chunks" ~ I noticed a death theme throughout (radar watching, quicksand), but maybe make this one more obvious, like the words or thoughts are being murdered or snipered....turn it into the "war against writer's block". But I like it!

I think it's pretty good.
Nice:)

I really like it, but you should change some words, I didn't really get what you meant by bluddy chunks, it's like a new angle from which to look at the writer's job. Nice and very original!

That;s pretty good and original..i really liked it>!!!

For a guy who's got writer's block this ain't half bad.
