Writer's Block Day

I wonder if we have an official "Writer's Block Day" on the calendar. There are so many outlandish little holidays that we very well might. That would be a great day to sit down at the keyboard with no particular idea in mind, just like I am doing now, and simply type until some idea, no matter how absurd, pops into our minds.

Writer's Digest offers writing prompts in its e-newsletter. Maybe we would all be required to use one of them. In any case we would have to write until we produced something that made some form of sense.

What's the opinion out there, would people like to start a brand new holiday? How would we celebrate it? Google would turn the two "o's" into tiny computer monitors. Or maybe into the letter "o" as it used to appear on a typewriter key. That would be fascinating and creative.

Maybe we could look up a psychology site and examine Rorschach or TAT tests, a new one each year, and write our impressions. Of course, some clever psychologist could analyze our stories and figure out all our secret obsessions, but it would be fun writing our fantasy stories based on the tests.

I had nothing in mind for a post today but the idea of a Writer's Block Day seems like a good holiday. Maybe people could hold parties that day where each person would write a paragraph of a round robin story. The next day, millions of these stories could be uploaded to the web and readers would vote for the best one.

How about it, shall we apply for a particular date? How about Shakespeare's birthday?
