Xanadu and Other Musings



I am stuck. Befuddled. Blocked and constipated. I have (dun, dun, duh).....WRITER'S BLOCK!



I can hear you all now... NO GOD, why her, whyyyy now???. She was too young in her career to be struck down! I have been having this private battle for the last few weeks. Nothing will come to me. I stare blankly at the "create posting" button as it taunts me with it's virgin white text box. Surely I can't be the only one? What do other bloggers do when the pressure becomes too great?



OK Keri, I tell myself...now don't panic! Deep breaths and count backwards from 10. Should I use a color? A new font perhaps? OH SWEET BABY JESUS what will break this terrible curse you have placed upon me? Should I burn some sage or hire a priest for a cleansing?



But wait....what's this on TV? Entertainment Tonight? A new musical opening based on the 1980 movie Xanadu? Weren't there muses sent down from Olympus to help the struggling disco DJ overcome his creative block? Sister's (I recall) that sang and roller skated and wore incredibly fabulous outfits with leg warmers.

Move over Olivia, I'm pullin' out the leg warmers and makin' you my bitch!
