Erg!

I am completely obsessed w/ "The L Word, specifically the adorable, sexy, witty Alice Pieeszecki. I want her wardrobe, her awesome bedroom & over all confidence w/ the dating scene. And tiny part of me loves Jenny too! For all her narcissim, self-centered whinyness, I "get" Jenny. I also fear I might be Jenny but that's a post for another time.

Part of my love of this awesome show is the writing, the beautifully haunting, engaging writing. Which leds me to my point, I have many stories buried deep inside of me. BUT I'm completely blocked.

Anybody got any ideas? PLEASE?!

The L Word is one of my guilty pleasures, except I don't feel guilty about liking it at all. (I just hate the way all the women on the show don't really represent what lesbians are like.) I've seen the whole series and am still kind of "meh" over how it ended. I too LOVE Alice, but I have to say that I can't stand Jenny. I did like her in the first season, though. But she turns rather vile. I think I understood her motivations, though, and her fat ass ego.

As far as the blockage goes, do you ever just sit down and write? Honestly, I think if you're waiting to be inspired, you may be waiting for a long time. Just show up and do the work. That's really all you can do.

Good luck! I know all about those blockages. You really just have to sit down and stare down that blank page.
