Stranger Then Fiction

I think that what we have viewed so far in the movie Stranger then Fiction is a really cool way to look at writers block. It shows the authors struggle with trying to finish her book with the perfect ending, and how really stressful it could be. I have had writers block plenty of times, even a few times during this blog actually, and I know how stressful it can be. You really try to find those perfect words to make that perfect sentence to describe what you're trying to say to your desired audience. I totally understand why the author in the movie turns to chain smoking and drinking alcohol; the stress that comes with writers block can be enormous. With the author in Stranger Then Fiction, not only does she have writers block , but she also is trying to meet a deadline, and end the book with a 'bang'. That amount of pressure on a person can be tremendously hard on you.
