LOL Excellent 5/7/5 you made me laugh so you already got my attention. Good syllable count. I was going to review as if it was a haiku and then I realized it is not.

Great job!

    Thank you so much, Gypsy Blue Rose, for taking time to read my poem. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. I guess all the laughing stops when the advance check has to go back. LOL!

    Thank you so much, William Ross, for taking time to read my poem. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. Yes, we can laugh about this situation, but it's really not funny at the time. Especially, when you have to send the check back. LOL!

I can't think of anything worse for a writer, than to have the extra pressure of pre-payment. I'm sure this would give most, writer's block.

Well worded with every word counting to a short clever tale. Well presented with a clown picture. Good luck in the competition...

    Thank you so much, Mel, for taking time to read my poem. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. Yes, we can laugh and have fun with this situation as long as it isn't us who's in it. Then, it wouldn't be a bit funny. :-)

Hi ...

Laughed out loud, which I seldom do! Way too funny. An advance seems to somehow diminish the writer's block ... $$$ is always a great incentive!

Well done and great humor. Good luck in the contest!

Very witty indeed. Loved the picture. We all suffered from writer's blocks at one time or the other. My muse sometimes takes unexpected vacations for months on end (lol) without warning me. Oh, I hate when my quill is dry and barren, but forcing it doesn't do any good.

I laughed at your last line. Excellent response to the challenge, I wish you lots of luck.

Oh no the worst predicament when ones paycheck is reliant on a submission that we just cannot create. When the words just do not manifest on rj page, our stress levels increase and a downward spiral begins. Is the picture an idea for an alternative income stream in this situation? Hehe
Top work

It's quite common for people to write about this condition.
It's a fearsome and debilitating condition that all of us suffer from at some stage or another.
Very well written and shows a good development on the theme

I've very much enjoyed reading all these poems about writers block, I've been struggling for a while, and slowly overcoming it! You did a great job with this contest entry. Well written, with the correct syllable count, good luck!

Now, there's a problem. He has an article due and no inspiration to write it.
Sure, he's already been paid, but it might be his last advance.

I wonder if the muse would show if the writer hadn't already been paid. haha

Great contest entry. Good syllable count. Best of luck.

    It's my guess that the advance will probably be heading in reverse. LOL! Thanks for taking time to read my poem. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. :-)
