You are sitting at your desk staring at a blank screen.
A deadline is looming and your to-do list is growing like a hoarder’s collection of newspapers.
You put your hands on the keyboard and lightly tap your fingers in hopes that somehow words will appear on the page in coherent sentences.
Nothing happens.
Nothing.
There are no words.
There are NO WORDS!!
What do you do? You’re a writer/author/blogger and words are your currency. You can’t live without words. And yet there are no words?!
Oh, the humanity!!
But never fear. Calamity is easily averted. As a blogger you’ve merely forgotten a key ingredient to the flow of creative juices.
Fuel.
Out of nowhere HubSpot swoops down onto the scene to rescue you. With a sigh of relief mixed with a shout of joy you reach for your blogger fuel mug and guzzle down the sweet nectar of life.
Fueling up for a long day of making marketing people love has never looked so good. This slick little barrel mug will keep your coffee warm, your tea strong, and your soda sparkling.
As the power held within the mug begins to pulse through your veins you smile like a sly fox and sit back down to make Ralph Waldo Emerson cower in his grave at the sheer awesomesauce of your words.
What is your writing fuel of choice?
Do you have a special mug you use?

Surely “blogger fule” (where is the possesive s in that anyway!) is more about concentration and energy levels than the marketting myth of “writer’s block” or “lack of inspiration.”
On a note about writer’s block I’d say that my fuel is consistantly turning up and writing, making sure I do good research into my topic and finding cross over sections to write about and most importantly making sure that I take time away from the feedback loop online and stop writing. I do drink coffee (sometimes) when I write but I’m drink less now and producing more content than I have in the past.
Writer’s block (see fear) is an issue, the cure is punch it in the face and produce something. even if it sucks. This mug is a distraction.

@Chris – “Blogger” is descriptive, not possessive in this context as it applies to the fuel within said mug. Now, you could say “the blogger’s blogger fuel mug”, but that just sounds silly regardless of the adherence to grammar rules.
You make a great point about “writer’s block” and I don’t subscribe to the concept either. Stephen King, Steven Pressfield, and Seth Godin would agree, no? However, this mug looks awesome and I want one anyway. Plus the post was written in a whimsical tone with the intention of producing a smile on the face of readers, or at the very least, a slight smirk. I’m sorry it didn’t resonate with you.

What might be in your mug? 😉

As a self-proclaimed coffee addict, this is fantastic. This reminds me of the Tank Up Coffee Cup that used to be over at think geek for a while. I ended up buying it. This cup is way cooler though. I might have to add it to my pantry.

Tag close fail.
Eric Dye says
LOL! Maybe the Editor will fix it for you. 😉
Casey Dierking says
Well that would be too easy now wouldn’t it?
Eric Dye says
Behold the power of pixels…
Eric Dye says
This made me LOL.
My favorite fuel is coffee. It works like an octane booster. Too much and my mind scatters, just enough, and my keyboard starts bouncing. 😀
