Newsletter Deadline Looms.. Writers Block hangs about like a miasma...

[Paul F.]

So I have this newsletter I do...
In order to get it mailed "on time", I have to have it to the photocopy shop friday morning.

I have two 8.5"x11" blank pages left, and I've got nothing...
I've used all the submitted material I had, I've used up the "filler" I had stashed away for two OTHER formerly-blank pages.
I've trimmed this issue down to the minimum number of sheets of paper I can reasonably use.

I'm out of "old hunting photo's".
Out of "Chicks with Guns" pictures (a popular column featuring women in non-stereotypical settings with firearms; hunters, competitive shooters, soldiers, etc... no cheesecake shots... Lord know there are enough of THOSE on the internet! )

I've spent the last couple hours going through the New York Times archives and some British newspaper archives for more "filler".


I'm half temped to re-run an article from 7-8 years ago, when I started being the Newsletter Editor, and see if anyone notices.


OK.. enough self-pity... I just had to vent a little.
I'll find something.
You may continue with your evening, if you're of a mind to do so... :-)

Sometimes when I'm blocked I start by typing "It was a dark and stormy night." Usually makes me laugh, which helps the process.

Who wouldn't like a nice picture of Max, perhaps holding, or maybe sleeping on, his favorite firearm?

rgG;

I've already used that picture in the newsletter before :-)

Sounds like it's time for a "Best Of" edition

Could revisit on old article, with a spin like "update"/ "where are they now" / "remember when"/
