Sometimes we writers have these days...

Today, I picked up my computer, and stared at the open page of my book, and saw this:

"'Just do SOMETHING!' she yelled, picking up a random flask of potion, and flinging it at Gorthil. It exploded in a purple mushroom cloud when it hit a table and mixed with another potion.
'Come back, you insolent fools!' the mage yelled behind them. Quinna and Kellan kept running, knocking over tables and causing"

and realized that I had no idea what to write after "knocking over tables and causing". I stared at it for about five minutes before realizing that I had a severe, possibly life-threatening (at least for Quinna and Kellan), form of writers block. The only symptom which is worse is typing random letters:

"Quinna and Kellan kept running, knocking over tables and causing erjiefhhvg,adcv nkj;DSJjkdhuja;;SDJH FAdjfkff"

That means PUT DOWN THE COMPUTER RIGHT NOW AND GO DO SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY THINKING. I luckily was not experiencing this, but it was almost that bad. Which could only mean one thing: Time for a blog post!
...
Uh oh. This is bad. I am experiencing blog writers block.
The first thing that comes to mind is that there are 17 days left of summer break, after which I shall go back to school. This is alarming for several reasons. 1). I am going in to high school. Anyone can understand why that's alarming (I think). 2). I will be bogged down by homework, which will leave less time for writing and blogging. Which means that after August 9th, all my fans (Yes, of course I have fans!) will be very sad, because there will be a lot less to read.
My goal is to do 1 chapter a day until then. That will be 17 chapters. Remember, I'm rewriting, so I am not actually writing a whole new chapter every day, although, that could happen, since I'm adding a bunch to the story.

Well, I sincerely hoped this would be longer, but it looks like this is all I can think of. Who KNOWS what would happen if I tried to finish that chapter. Hey, I was kept awake last night by thunder that sounded like a thousand boulders raining from the sky and landing on Half Dome, and lightning every 2-3 seconds. I'm TIRED. Not to mention that the day before yesterday, I ran 2 miles in 100 degree heat. Then I stayed up until eleven watching cooking shows with my friend.
