Writers Block

You think you have a bad case of writer's block? Whoo wee. I'm only prolific on a sporadic basis. I would've written the book on writers block, if only I wasn't so ... blocked.

I found this wickedly cool animated short called (you guessed it) Writers Block on You Tube while I was doing a bit of research for an upcoming post. The video stars Mark Thomson, a fine bloke, and the author of the essential book on down under backyard living, Blokes and Sheds.

Writers Block was shot in 16MM black & white and was awarded Best Australian Short at the 1995 Melbourne Film Festival. If you're a writer and fan of stop motion animation, this is a most welcome 5 minute vacation. It might even inspire you, as it did I, to break through that wall and start clacking at the keys ...

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
