Writer's block defeated!

The creation date of the word document says 4 December 2007 and, following around eight months of twiderling my thumbs, the first chapter of my heavily influenced Evil Dead 2 styled novel is finally complete. It comes to a maximum of about five pages in total and all that's happened so far is the two idiot protaganists have simply been f-ing and blinding at each other whilst stuck in a traffic jam. I'm flying! At this rate, I'll have a completed text that can then be rejected by every publishing house in existence, on account that its complete gubbins, in 15 years time. A little disconcerting as I'd only planned on this occuring within two. Bugger...

Still, this microscopic achievement might just be the driving force to get me really cracking on with the next couple of chapters, where everything gets a bit supernatural and spooky as our anti-heroes find themselves stranded in the middle of Derbyshire. Here's hoping anyhow...
