Top Ten Excuses Why I Can't Write Today

Confess; everyone has those days when they just don't want to write. It is not your muse's fault she's tried to help you think of an idea ANY IDEA for a new article you can write; however you find every excuse not to hear her. You would do anything else but write. Here are some great excuses to use when writing is the last thing on your mind:

1. My City is Under A State Of Emergency- Our great mayor chose to enforce a state of emergency on our great city until he is able to acquire the money he needs to light the city. Our mayor has kindly asked us to conserve energy. So, I will not use my laptop or computer. I will not use my flashlight or candles to look for my notebook, pencil and pens. I cannot go against our mayor. It is my duty to bump into furniture and eat my meals at campfire light. I will sit in the dark playing Metroid Prime on my Game Boy Advance as long as possible until our mayor acquires the money. It is my civic American duty to do so.

2. I Am Finally At The Last Level Of My Video Game- I need to finish my game so I can get my $50.00 dollars worth. I have played the game for months day and night. I'm sure the Video game creators would appreciate my insistence on finishing the game that they worked so hard on for months and years. I think I should honor their work by finishing and going straight to the video game store to buy their new game before it is sold out. I am also going to school to be a video game designer so I need to study the top video games to see how they are done. So, it is part of my education to play every video game that ever existed for the X-box360.

3. I Must Finish The Novel I Am Reading- Like the video game I'm sure the writer of this novel would appreciate me to finish the novel he slaved over for months and years. As a writer I understand this and know that the author would appreciate if I would take some time to write him a long five-page e-mail about how much I loved his novel. I know I would love to get a fan letter by e-mail from one of my fans or least anyone who reads my short stories or articles. I also know the writer would also appreciate for me to go to the bookstore to buy his new novel after I finish this last as well and go to the writer's conference in Hawaii for two weeks.

4. TV Is Too Interesting- Two basic cable channels are having a horror movie marathon all month. How can I miss this! Horror is one my favorite movie genres? I am a fan of all of them. Also November is sweeps month and all my shows start again with new thrilling episodes. Over 3000 channels with movies I have never seen before. I cannot offend the directors of these movies who put their heart and soul to create and sell these scripts for me to watch. I also cannot ignore the classic movie channels, which I watch religiously. I have to watch the classic movie channels to learn how to write. The scripts were written with three-dimensional characters, with great plot, and well written dialogue. Seriously.

5. XM-Radio- I have just subscribed to XM-Radio and I addicted to it. I listen to every channel day and night. The 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's are my favorite. I love to listen to how much music changed during these decades. The Big Bands, The birth of Rock and Roll, the politically turbulent 60's and the Sexy fun-loving 70's. I also have to listen to the talk radio shows so I can know what is happening in the world. I stay being kept cooped up in a room writing all day when there are channels on XM-Radio yet to be heard.

6. It Is Too Beautiful Where I Live to write- I live in South Florida where the weather is gorgeous all year 'round and it is especially gorgeous in October. As blizzards, blistering cold, rainy dark days are happening in the East Coast here in Florida I get slightly icy winds, robin's egg blue skies and fluffy white clouds beckoning me to come outside and join them. I can't let them down and sit writing in a room while this beauty calls to me. That would be rude.

7.My Dog Broke My Computer- I was quietly writing in my room when my dog rushed into the room and knocked my laptop computer from my desk. I have to now get it repaired or buy a new one. I'm getting this dog shot and buying a new one. I'll get a better computer and a better dog. (I never liked this one anyone).

8.My New Dog Chewed Through The Wire Of My New Computer- No comment. I don't want to talk about it. It is too sad. The funeral is this weekend so I can't write in the weekend either.

9.My Friends And Family Are Always Visiting Me- I am constantly being visited by my friends and family. They call me and always drop by after I call them. I can't just leave them outside; they're my family. Sometimes, they even stay through to the weekend after I ask them too. It just takes so much away from my writing time.

10.I Think I am Coming Down With Something Lethal- I sneezed five times yesterday, and you know where that could lead. It can lead to a cold, which could lead to a fever, which could lead to ammonia and then worse. My friend with a full cold touched me yesterday. I can feel my throat tightening as I write this article. I also think I may have contracted the bird flu that's going around. I have a lot of birds of every species imagined living near the lake near to my house. Or it could be a form of illness not yet diagnosed. So, now you see why I can't write my associated content article today. All in all, it is just not possible. Maybe, I'll try again some time next week. Unless something comes up. This article is not to be taken seriously. It is meant to be humorous now get up from your butt and write something!!!
