Saturdays with Sir Poops-A-Lot: Writer’s Block and Irritable Bowel Syndrome

HB: What’re we going to talk about today?

SPAL: Don’t know. Blogger’s mishaps last week screwed up my writing rhythm. I think mummsy calls it brain constipation.

HB: Are you sick?

SPAL: No. Mummsy says it’s when the words won’t come out.

HB: Like when you can make poops and you need to eat grass?

SPAL: Yup. Something like that.

HB: Okay… I think. But, how is making words like making a poop?

SPAL: Sometimes you know they’re there…you know, like the poops, but they refuse to come out. And, sometimes…like mummsy says they can explode out of your head onto paper like poops can explode out of your bum. Mummsy calls that IBS writing or brains. It’s when she can’t keep the words from coming out.

HB: Is IBS writing good?

SPAL: Yeah. It’s better than having the other problem. It’s good to have IBS brains.

HB: Oh….only at the other end it’s not good. Right? ‘Cause I don’t like IBS poops. It makes my tummy hurt.

SPAL: Right.

HB: How are we going to get IBS brains? Eat more grass?

SPAL: Do what mummsy does. Go for a walk. Eat treats. Read a book. Read some blogs. Listen to Beethoven.

                                       

SPAL: Hoped this helped anyone having brain constipation today. My you have IBS brains, instead.

Very truly yours,

Sir Poops-A-Lot

  1. SPAL and HB-I find that when I have constipation brains, taking a couple of days away from writing is the best...also, cutting the grass (instead of eating it) helps me...
    And, yes...IBS of the bum is not as good as IBS of the brain...LOL

  3. Poopsie I'm glad you like classical music!
    My favorite is the Pastoral Symphony also called The 6th. It will remind you of long pretty grass swaying in the breeze, not the kind you need for IBS.

  4. And mine is the Fourth movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony...

  5. Hello To everyone:

    Sorry for being so late in answering, but mummsy's been lopping hair all day. And, I've been lounging in my bed all day...thinking.

    Hopefully, next week I'll have plenty of words for you.

    Very truly yours,
    Sir Poops-A-Lot

  6. You made me spit my coffee out - IBS writing! I shall never look at my bowel functions in quite the same way again.

  7. How I wish I could get a bout of IBS brains. The blogger issue slowed down my mojo. I lost 3 pages I wrote on my new blog and can't get the 'juices flowing' again.

  8. @Ellie: I like cream in mummsy's coffee.

    @Ms. Lanley: Try eating grass if the other suggestions don't work.

    Very truly yours,
    Sir Poops-A-Lot
