In this short tale, the main character, Jane has a bad case of writer's block and the calendar reminds here of this every time she looks at it.
In an effort to push through the block, Jane decides to go to the beach for a short stay along with her dog, Stormy. While at the beach in Oregon, a storm passes through and a cat shows up at the cottage where Jane is staying. The cat has no collar and Jane decides to let it stay until the storm passes. During this time, the cat and the dog become fast friends.
At this point, the story flows into a picture-perfect depiction of triumph (over circumstance) as Jane pushes forward in the face of the ever-present calendar reminding her that she is just a few weeks away from her deadline.
Ms. Witwer does an excellent job of spinning a fully developed short story with likable characters into a piece that is throughly enjoyable from beginning to end. I can honestly see why this short tale won an award.
If you want a short read that is an easy read packed with a great story, then "Writer's Block" is for you.

So what does she do to fix it? She moves away from it, gets some distance from it, escapes it. But even though her body may be in paradise, her mind was still on that dreadful story she couldn’t finish. But, of course, she ended up finding another distraction: a cat!
Of course, the best part was finding out the cat’s owner was a charming and caring man.
This was a quick and sappy romance that you can get through in 5 minutes. Hardly worth it, really. It was strangely typical how the pets ended up having the same name. Seriously, what are the odds of that?
For me, the most inspirational part was Martin’s statement: “Write what you want to write.” (200) Sometimes writers get lost in the aspiration for fame and fortune, never once remembering the main reason they got started in this whole writing thing—fun. And, of course, that got Jane’s butt into gear.
This is actually a good reminder for any writer struggling with the block, even if the story did end a little too predictably.

writers' nemesis -- writer's block. All readers of this book, who happen to be writers -- or aspiring to be -- will feel reflected in the process.
Through Ms Witwer's story she gives us a message: A simple description of items or scenes of our surroundings can put an end to our hitting a wall, constantly. And she is able to convey the process in a powerful, poignant but uncomplicated use of everyday American English. May many more awards be granted.

Jane is experiencing a terrible case of writer's block. She decides a change of scenery with a vacation is what she needs. She packs up her dog Stormy and heads to the beach in Oregon. Once there, she and Stormy are adopted by a cute little cat. A great beginning for fun story that every writer can identify with.
I'd recommend this story to anyone who wants to have a little fun in a short amount of time.
