"You Must Unlearn What You Have Learned."

I have a treatment for my Hardluck submission, but the story isn't appearing line by line on my monitor. Akin to the Blank Page Syndrome is the Blank Screen or Flashing Cursor Syndrome.

Diagnosis: It's too early in the story-birthing process to use the computer. My solution? Go down to my basement Batcave and break out the PaperMate (medium point, black; shaken, not stirred) and legal pads.

"Luke, you've switched off your targeting computer. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm all right."
