Writers block. Bugger. By Sam.

I have reached a massive block in my book.   I wanted it to be a light read.  Not big belly laugh comedy, just seeing the funny in every day things.   The way I like to be in real life.   But it's just not flippin working.   Because it's semi autobiographical some of the stuff is so dark I just can't make it glib and it kind of stops me making other parts of the tale funny.   I feel like I can't go from really depressing one minute to telling jokes the next. I know that's what I do myself but it doesn't work in person (I know that from the amount of humourbypass victims who think I'm a dick) so it sure as hell ain't going to work in paper.

Bollocks.   Now what?
