Writer’s Block

Writer’s Block: A screenplay about depression.

Rugged countryside, on the edge of woodland. Springtime.
Man sitting under tree. Holds notebook and pencil.

Close-Up:  Man puts pencil to paper. Seems frozen. Sweating.

Extreme Close-Up: Sweat on brow.
Extreme Close-Up: Pencil wobbles on blank page. Does not move. Man groans. Sound as of branch bending painfully. Lead snaps. Loud as a broken branch. Man exclaims as if injured.

Cut to: Flock of birds scatter from woods.
