Writer's Block Conference Set to Begin Next Wednesday

Dust off that typewriter, sharpen those pencils, and head on down to the
Civic Center for the 3rd annual Writer's Block Conference!

This year's conference is expected to be the biggest yet as writers from all
over the region will get together to discuss writer block, what they're
currently working on, what the interiors of their refridgerators look like,
how many pencils they have sharpened, and of course, "why can't I fucking
write, I mean I'm a goddman college graduate, I should be able to do this."

This year's keynote speaker and organizer, Kenneth Farbes, will start the
weekend off by delivering an address titled, "Maybe if I just had a quick
beer, then sat down to write, yeah, that might help". Mr Farbes had hoped to
sign copies of his newest novel at this conference, but it has yet to be
printed. He describes the novel as "A coming of age story set in the heart
of America, wait, am I some kind of moron, that's so cliched."

Other scheduled seminars are:
-- "Umm, Uhh, so the guy walks into a room and then what?"
-- "Jesus God, I should be able to do this"
-- "This weekend, it can't be this weekend, shit"
-- "I'm a fucking idiot"

There are also expected to be workshops on thowing pencils into the ceiling,
strumming on the lips, and coming up with excuses for missing deadlines.
