i've got a theory

For the past few weeks, MakMak has been suffering from a writer's block. He had tried all possible means to overcome this by engaging in freewriting, brainstorming, automatic writing, chunking and other available means of seeking creativity and inspiration. Unfortunately, none of them worked. Now, MakMak believes that he can resolve this problem if he knows the root cause of this incapacity. What do you think is the reason behind MakMak's situation?

a) There's no deeper reason. It's just a writer's block, plain and simple. It happens to everyone. It'll probably end soon. In about seven years.

b) MakMak is just not pleased with the turn out of his writings lately. He believes that a writer should write about what he knows but that should not prevent him from going out of his comfort zone because he can always learn and experience new things. The cardinal rule of writing states that if your writing is too safe, do something dangerous. Thus, he feels that unless he does something dangerous, or at the very least new, then he won't be able to write anything worth a zit. And he hasn't done anything remotely dangerous for the past seven months. Loser.

c) MakMak is just too distracted for some reason. Hem hem.

d) MakMak is too lazy to develop and expound his subjects. It takes a lot of hard work to have a reasonably "read-worthy" entry (i.e. minimal grammatical and typo errors, inherently profound statements, etc.). If only he can get away with writing an entry like such:

*Sigh*. Curses to being a closing shift partner. Poor MakMak. :( Still smiling outside but totally tired on the inside.

Want a detailed story? Maybe next time. It's already freaking 1 AM. I'm just trying to fight the sleep I'm feeling right now. Ho Humm. Sorry for that. MakMak embarassed. Hihi. =)

Let's continue. I was allowed to be on the floor and I get to prepare 25 drinks tonight. Awesomeness, right? Good job MakMak. I thought it was all okay until we have to start closing. Then there was this couple who's not so good-looking who came in and ordered something so we have to prepare their food and then this not-so-good-looking couple decided to eat their food in the store. Oh geeze! Now we have to wait for them to go out before we can fully close. And it's like 11 na! I know that I look tired. I'm dizzy. I'm hungry. Poor MakMak. Good thing that April gave me a caramel bar earlier. Hugs April! Mwah! But I'm thirsty. But that was before because now I'm just sleepy. So I'll go zzz na ha. So long sweeties!

e) It could be bunnies.

POSTSCRIPT. You won't get the bunny reference if you're not familiar with the musical episode of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer ("Once More, With Feeling"). Needless to say, you're probably living in another reality if you don't know who Buffy is.
