...writer's block

I finally get what Jack went through on a daily basis, something that he had often complained about...writer's block. I used to talk him out of it, or just give him a massage. That always used to ease the tension. He always asked for my advice, or preferences on his ideas that he has pitching. Although I didn't get my degree from ISU, I was a radio, tv, film major. I graduated in my final year at Drake...  many moons older, yet wiser. When Jack was in charge of producing a video..besides writing the whole thing, I often gave him suggestions on appropriate music, to fit his audience. It always worked out.

I can't say Jack and I were together all the years I have known him..that would be a lie. We broke up many times...I think we grew as individuals on each break-up. The weird part about our last and longest break-up, before we moved in together, was we both brought in our apartment, the exact same novels, that both of us discovered..kinda freaky.

I was 15 when I fell in love with him. I guess, tonight, I have writer's block and wish he could snap me out of it. I'm now 49yrs old...we have a history. In my story, if I were a writer, I would give us a future...tomorrow is 3months...Ben is hitting the batting cages.
