It happens to everyone, I suppose...but what to do about it? In Throw Momma from the Train, Larry (played by Billy Crystal) has terrible writer's block because his wife Margaret "stole" his story, his life, and (apparently) his manhood. Which is pretty mean, when you think about it one way, but maybe a bit exaggerated when we see the end of the movie. Larry writes a novel about his adventures with Owen, only to find that Owen (played by Danny DeVito) wrote a book about his adventures with Larry. Enraged, Larry throttles Owen for "stealing" the story, only to find that Owen wrote a pop-up book.
Not good. One wonders if perhaps Margaret simply wrote about Larry... and why not? They were married, after all...
Anyway, Larry's writer's block is pretty funny and involves lots of activity with scotch tape, hard liquor, coffee, and watching Oprah. I do so like Oprah..she's lovely when you have writer's block, or any time, really.
So, I really don't have anything to write, which is like writer's block in a way, except that I'm writing, which gets a bit babbly. And stuff.
