Inspiration strikes!
I can't talk, I can't listen, I must write, write, WRITE!
I must capture this elusive thought before it slips away into nothingness, fading away to the faintest whisper of a dream, so close I can touch it; yet so intangible I cannot grasp it.
Do not interrupt me until I am done!
If I don't seize this now, I may never get it back!
I don't know when I'll be finished! Do you know so little of the ways of a writer?
I don't know how long this will take! I don't know where this thought is leading me!
I--
DANGIT.
My inspiration is gone.
Hello, Writer's Block. I am not pleased to see you.
No really, go away! I need to get some work done.
Why won't you leave? Look, I have a paper due in three hours. I have to write something.
Please? I'm begging. Will you accept bribes? Because I have chocolate.
Okay, maybe I can ditch you by going for a walk. So long, writer's block! You'd better not be here when I come back!
......
Writer's Block. Go AWAY.
...please? It's already been an hour.
Seriously. Haven't you had your fun? This isn't nice. You're horrible. Really.
...maybe surfing the web will help.
What?! One hour left?! WRITER'S BLOCK!!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!
FINALLY. It's done. HA! I conquered you, writer's block! YOU HAVE NO VICTORY!!!
...now, what do I write next?
WRITER'S BLOCK. I HATE YOU.

I can't tell you how many times I've felt that exact same desperation - but I can say that you captured it perfectly. In a very humorous way, to top it off.
Being EXTRA EXTRA picky, I would suggest you change the endings of both pieces a little. Just a little. Sorry, it just seems like they could be more clever, considering all of the wit that came before them.
Ah, there was some joke about having a muse (was it in a comic?) that I saw a few days ago. I would share it, but my memory sucks.
ANYWAY... Your writing is funny and coherent. I really like it. Nice job.
Why is this in the general fiction category? Shouldn't this be in the Other? Hihi... I'm complaining 'cause I can't find no story here. I was like Yay! I'm gonna read a story by dearie animekaratepup, but there's NOTHING.
Wait. *rereads*
Oh, lookie here. Well, guess what? There is a story here. There's the plot: the writer block keeping the writer for writing anything. A dillema: She has to write something! -- and clock is ticking fast. Characters: the writer, and the notorious writer's block. I just can't figure out how the problem was solved, but yeah... we've got Confessions of a Shopoholic.

I love these! They totally describe how I feel sometimes, and they made me laugh!
This is my absolute favorite line.Great job with these, and keep writing!!
I adore these!
The writers block one is PERFECT for how it is to have writers block! XP Awesome job on that. And on the inspiration one, zomg! Are you stalking me when I'm trying to write and my parents and brothers wont leave me alone?! Awesome job! 
Hey pup!
* you went a little overboard with the thing of time. Let me explain;
I'm not going to review in detail but I wanted to let you know I've read it and enjoyed the first part on Inspiration. It was really easy going and chill but you mixed in some really nice vocabulary which I felt was nice, rather then reading something that shows no talent but is fun to read, so you've got my full 'Like' on this section.
The next part on writers block was true but not as enjoyable for me.I thought it was a little untidy and messy, not as neat and professional as the first post was. I think, *Please don't hate me for being harsh?
To be honest... I got it already. We know you've used up your time, your frustrated but by saying the same things over, it doesn't help me understand what it feels like, it makes me want to skip a couple of lines until you've finished. Does that sound right to you? I'm sorry for being horrible. I hate these reviews, I'm helping though right?
I think, that you should edit this a little and cut out some chunks, add in some sophisticated words and BOOM! There you have it. A wonderful entertaining read that shows off the talent I know you have. You really did well with the inspiration one and I'm only being nit-picky.
Good luck and well done on making me laugh and the feature!
Keep writing!

Hello there!
I've got a few nitpicks for you:
- I think this line will feel stronger if you separated the three 'I can't's' with periods. Nevertheless, nice opening.
- Nice line!
- Strictly speaking, this should be 'DANG IT.'
- Hilarious!
I agree with VousEsEstonnant - This deserves to be featured!!
Never stop writing!
*laughs* *rereads* *laughs again* oh, anime, that is the most hilarious, clever, brilliantly wordef piece I have read in. aLOOONNNGGG time. Really you puled this off so smoothly I'm suprised this wasnt featured. Or was it? It should be. I loved how you made it so naturally realistic. Like losing an inspirational thought while trying to explain why you needed to concentrate. Brilliant. But I loved the secondone more. My favorite part is where you ask if writers block takes bribes. "Because ai have chocolate." Too funny. Honestly. This was awesome, and I am going to click the like button. Hahaha. Keep writing!!!!

Hey there!
Here's a complaint I have. When I'm suddenly struck by inspiration, I don't stop writing long enough to think about these eloquent words to describe how I can't stop writing. My thoughts are in short, sharp bursts, like the others of this section. Just moments ago, you wrote: This seems much more realistic, it's more like how I'd be thinking in a writing fit. Using long and descriptive words in your thought processes would be much better suited to the second part, where you're trying to drive it away with your thought processes.So, this was a fun piece. You drew me in with a title consisting of two things most of us here have experienced plenty of times, and your depiction of it all was a very entertaining read.
However! (There's always a "however", isn't there?)
I do love that you posted them together. They work best as two separate pieces, but should definitely be considered companions. But is there a way you could make them fit together more smoothly, to make them a whole and rounded work? If they became one piece, it would just make more sense, and the reader doesn't have to go hunting for the companion.
Also, I'd kind of like it if inspiration strikes again at the end of the Writer's Block part. We all know that inspiration and writer's block are a never-ending cycle sent to torment writers everywhere, so if you finish with inspiration again, it gives a nice roundness to it, like the two are constantly connected. If you finished with something like "Here we go again", that matches the sense of humour you've got running throughout this, and draws it to a close much more naturally. Does that make sense?
You know, I accept bribes. *nods*
Ha! I loved this part especially, that's exactly how my thought processes go when I'm blocked. It's probably relatable and familiar to everyone here, so great job with that.
Overall: A fun and entertaining piece, but not quite as substantial as I'd like to see. You almost seem to be filling up space with a few things, and it's a shame, because there's a nice purpose and this is so relatable. I'd really like to see what you do with it, though. I did really enjoy it, and I hope to see more from you soon.
I hope I helped! If there's anything I've said that didn't quite make sense, or anything more I can do to help, please let me know, I'd be glad to lend a hand however I can.

Starts rolling on the floor laughing* OMGoodness!!! Haha I loved this humor Anime!!! Ok I have one thing to point out:
You need to delete the extra to.Anyways I really don't have anything grammar wise or spelling to say. Very nicely well done I thoroughly loved it....if only I had chocolate to bribe writer's block....OH YES I DO.....sighs dejectedly*it didn't work T.T Anyhow Awesome jobs and keep up the good work!!! Happy Writing and Best of Wishes. Buenas Suerte!!

Hey there anime!
I'm sad to say that these pieces are so true. I'm not sad that you wrote them well - congrats on that! - it's just that I wish there was some way that my train of thought couldn't be lost if I was distracted. And everyone knows what they'd like to do to writer's block if they came across it in a dark alley...
Even though these two pieces are short and more of an internal monologue than a story, I still think the use of caps is annoying. Using italics is just as good.
Nix one of the 'to's
'though' needs a 't' on the end to make it 'thought'
***
Those two typos aside, this was a fun little read. I loved the humour in it - I wish it was actually possible to bribe writer's block
Thanks for the read!
