the Wakefield Doctrine ‘writer’s… (what’s that term…..) er ‘blck’ block!! writer’s block Monday!’

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

images-128

(bit of writer’s block this morning, however, I find that my day will be better if I manage to post something that I will find myself not minding reading, later in the day today)

How much of a block, you ask? So much so that when I tell myself to simply start with a basic description of the Doctrine, I can’t find the words to start.  damn!  That is one mighty writers block! Fortunately for all of us, I’m a clark and, as we all know, or should know, of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine, clarks have the largest ego.

…hey!! I just discovered what a writer’s block really is!* It isn’t that I don’t have anything to write, or say or describe or explore in this Post. It’s that there’s a part of me that thinks everything/anything I write sucks. but…but!  here is the interesting part… I know that much of what I write is possibly of a suckacious nature, that is nothing new. What seems to be happening is that I am listening to that part of my mind. So, to recapitulate, I have writers block because I would rather have writers block than face the possible negative feedback of writing a Post that I’m telling myself is so bad that I shouldn’t bother, that I should simply wait until this, ‘writers block’ passes.

fuck that.

(unfortunately or not), I have only so much time in the morning to devote to the blog. otherwise I am thinking I could write a few hundred words on the tendency of clarks to maintain our worldviews by submitting to the negative pressure from within, as opposed to the negative pressure without. Not that there’s not a lot of negative pressure from the world that all the clarks of the world are walking into this fine Monday morning. There is. A lot of negative shit that we (clarks) know is a part of being who and what we are… but this morning, I will offer to any clarks reading this the following observation:

as clarks we are driven by the need to learn what we believe (correctly or not) that everyone else knows, this knowledge confers on all the people around us (or, at very least, on the scotts and rogers) the ….what’s that cool legal phrase often found in a formal lease,  ‘the right to quiet enjoyment‘  of (their) lives. As clarks, we observe people going about their lives without the burden of wondering if they have that right. As clarks, we assume that we do not. We don’t necessarily assume that we cannot, or should not have that right, we just know that we don’t and spend our lives looking for a way to know what everyone else knows.

Well, my time this morning is up. Thank you for reading. I believe that my writer’s block has scurried back under the bed, to wait for the next morning that I step into the day too tentatively, leaving myself open and vulnerable to it’s toothy kiss.

…lol   well, there is something to be said for ‘writer’s block’

scotts?  rogers?  (if you’re new to the Doctrine, please be assured that no clarks were permanently injured in the course of writing this Post. all insights were performed by a trained professional. do not attempt this at home.

 

 

* at least what it really is, for a clark

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    That’s exactly what writer’s block is! I never thought of it like that, but it is completely true. Not a sucktacious post at all. Quite wise, actually.
    And at the time of this writing, FRIST!

    With words like sucktacious, we know your mind is thinking. This is a great post. And aren’t we all our own worst enemies? At least Clarks. Maybe you need a vacation.

      oh man! clarks and vacations??!! can you say canaries with sweaters on? we (as a people, not necessarily individuals) as so challenged when it comes to taking vacations! It’s not that we don’t enjoy the concept… it’s just that we don’t (nah…I know you know what comes next…. no, no need to answer here… I’ll check in on the FB for the answer)

    Really? Largest egos? Quite the “oxymoron” since we are so self critical. lol

    And yet at first blush, one would think rogers would take the ego crown. But no.
    rogers are the biggest at self-promotion which is not the same.

    If I infer correctly,ego is of the singular. rogers are not “singular”. rogerian self-promotion is a thing of the herd. It’s about enhancing one’s position in the herd.

    “…the tendency of clarks to maintain our worldviews by submitting to the negative pressure from within, as opposed to the negative pressure without…” Toss of a coin some days.

    But you make an excellent point – fear often prevents clarks from participating/joining and otherwise engaging the world via negative feedback (like on a suckacious post). We do nothing. And then continue to indulge the vicious cycle of self recrimination and general self loathing.

    Happy Monday! everyone:)

      yeah
      the most giant of the egos (of the three worldviews) because, unlike scotts who wander the world attacking and fleeing, finding prey and avoiding (larger predators) and rogers who live a life as a totally unique, non-distinguishable from any other member of the Herd, content to participate to their capacity, eager to contribute to the good (and the bad) of the Herd…. clarks are alive, alone, with a world in their head and the rest of humanity in their heart…. forever chasing something that appears to be outside of themselves and yet, to all the world is and will always be within

      huge ego….a world’s worth
