Blockage

At this point, I've been a professional writer for over four years. I've written hundreds of articles ranging from 50 words up to 3,500+, many of them on short deadlines, and I've never really had a problem. But for some reason, this seemingly insignificant story has me completely blocked up. I've been staring at it for a week and a half, pushed the deadline back as far as it can possibly go, and I'm still having a hell of a time making it happen.

I'm probably overthinking this. I mean, I had no trouble writing several angry, yet civil emails to Nancy Pelosi's office regarding her active impeding of imeachment proceedings against a clearly criminal president (which in my mind makes her an accomplice, basically his getaway driver). I have no trouble articulating my outrage at Barack Obama's vote in favor of the FISA bill. (Yes, I know he voted for an amendment to remove the telcom immunity garbage, but isn't that a lot like threatening that if they don't remove the part he doesn't like he'll vote for it anyway? What exactly was the incentive to remove it? Incidentally, all the money I was going to donate to Obama's campaign is now going to the ACLU to help them in undoing the damage he's helped to cause.) I'm not having any trouble writing this blog right now. So what the hell?
