Here's hoping it works!

My only other comment is that when I struggle with writer's block I try to just write words anyway, even if they're crap.  Ironically, one of the pieces I posted on here that people liked for the most part was something I wrote even though I pretty much hated writing every bit of it and felt it was flat as hell and uninteresting.  Which I guess just goes to show that you may as well try.

Good luck, and looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Ha! I chuckled several times as I read through this, usually between mutterings of "been there...been there, too." I think we've all struggled with writer's block at one time or another. That darn muse, after all, is a reclusive and lazy creature. I believe Stephen King, when talking about his own muse, described it as a being who loves to conjure up new ideas but despises actually having to work on and develop them.

I've heard others try to explain why this happens to writers moreso than other artists, and I believe it's because we have to actually create our own materials. I can't for the life of me remember who said this--rest assured I can't take credit for it--but unlike sculptors who have stone, painters who have paint, and clothing designers who have fabric, we writers must build a draft before we can begin shaping it into the shape we desire. Sure, the words are already out there, but we can't touch them or run our fingers across them. We can only think about them and listen.

I like the text. It readily captures the sense of frustration we encounter. Stick with it. The only real cure for writer's block is persistence.

The cursor blinked steady like a metronome on the blank screen.

“Steadily” is a more appropriate use here.

He turned up the volume on the small CD player on the desk, took a long, slow sip from his steaming coffee mug and stared at the screen.

Don’t need to explain where the CD player is. From the previous sentence it’s obvious you’re at a desk or workstation, so the explanation is superfluous. Also, don’t need to have “stared at the screen,” either, as you ended the previous sentence with that.

The first sentence must do the same: pull the reader through each following sentence until the books conclusion.

“Book’s” with an apostrophe for possessive use.

In this era of ninety second Happy Meals, three minute songs, and thirty minute sit-coms, there's no time for a story to develop slowly over an hour.

This sentence is VERY good and speaks true. I’d like to see a writer today try to take the time J.R.R. Tolkien did for his descriptions, it wouldn’t get any attention.

The main thing I have to say is that the mechanics and grammar need to be watched. The story itself is good, true to what a lot of writers go through.

As for suggestions concerning the nature of the story, a line from a movie comes to mind. “Write your first draft with your heart, rewrite with your head.” Writer’s block can be hard, but if you write with passion and pleasure, and never force yourself to write what other’s want (which is difficult in this day & age), then WB won’t be around very often.

We all suffer from writer's block, but I don't think I've actually read anything about experiencing it, so good job. You also captured all the insecurities and excuses, and then rationalizations that writers go through.

Some spelling mistakes:

It must make future readers eyes slip form it to the next word

I think you meant 'from' rather than 'form.

Someone's already in love, somethings already been blown up, someone's already did, or is in imminent danger of it.

Do you mean 'someone's already dead'? or something else here? Also, there should be an apostrophe over 'something's already been blown up'.

Even movies, which stretch the attention spans of society tight as stretched rubber bands, have half their story told in the first hour

Saying stretched to describe the rubber bands is redundant, since if the attention spans are being stretched, we'd assume stretched, rather than relaxed, rubber bands.

Good job. I feel like you've been sitting over my shoulder reading my mind every time I ran into writer's block. I hope you keep writing.

Ahh, writers block, how I loathe thee.  A novel approach to defeating the beast however; simply turning about and confronting it directly.  I applaud the effort, and it certainly doesn't hurt that the piece you've created in the process stands quite well on it's own merit regardless. 

The doubts and worries of an author in this day and age are neatly captured, and the lingering whisper in the back of a new writer's mind, "This has to be perfect."  I found myself nodding in agreement as I read.   Something you may want to take a quick look at though:

Even movies, which stretch the attention spans of society tight as pulled rubber bands, have half their story told in the first hour.

I see that this was changed in response to an earlier critique once already, so take this as the opinion it is, but I feel that simply using "tight as rubber bands" or "taut as rubber bands"  would be less jarring than any adjective you might use there.

In any case, congrats on conquering the beast, and I hope to see more stories from you in the future.  Nice job, Joshua.

I think just about everyone can commiserate on the theme of writers block. I know I haven't written much at all in a few years because of it, and for the oposite, sometimes I think of too many ideas and cannot focus on one thought.

It seemed like a good exercise to get writing again. I hope you find your words.
