A Cure for Writer's Block?

Throat Infection – an author’s best friend??

I’ve been ordered not to speak at all if possible, but definitely not above a whisper, for seven to ten days. Are you f*cking kidding me?? I live to talk. I have a husband, children, two dogs and a cat who I’m certain cannot survive even an hour without my verbal input. What about my mother-in-law, my cousin, my brothers and sisters-in-law, my best bud and my co-workers? Besides my fondness for face to face communication, it is a running joke that the telephone is a natural extension of my body! Add the fact that I’m not allowed to go back to my office for days?

Oh, the horrors! (Sorry, channeled Dr. Smith from Lost in Space for just a second).

Now something wonderful is happening! Apparently, not being distracted by my own incessant babbling is allowing me to hear the creative ideas bouncing around in my brain. I think I have figured out the problem in my vampire WIP and I have some very interesting notes down about a new scifi story.

I guess silence is truly golden!
