    Steam has a instant chat function, Idesto! I can show you how to use it

    Another thing you might be all interested in is stress. The main stress hormone, cortisol, when elevated over a long period has interesting feed backs on our limbuc system (our emotional brain). It causes our amygdala to hypertrophy ( which increases cranky, tetchy behavior) and causes our hippocampus (involved with short term memory) to atrophy. So prolonged stress will cause you to get pissed off at the drop of a hat and forget what you had for breakfast this morning. Minimizing or mitigating your stress will really help with writers block. (Again, I'm surprised I can even write this )

    Also don't worry about whether you think what you've written is shit! I never worry about that and hey, look at my stuff! ;)

    Thanks. I'd probably just use it as a displacement activity though. I already lost months of my life to twitter!

    LOL. I can imagine Caleb holding his hands over his face and saying "Jeez, I'm sorry I asked..."

    Depends if you are in Sydney or not Ben. If you are in the US that's a bloody expensive treatment!
