The expression when you realize a major problem with a story you are writing.
I don`t know what it is with my writing, but I am experiencing a lot of eubleaka moments these days. In fact, I am beginning to question if my eubleaka radar is maybe tuned to sharply, kind of like how some drug tests would get a positive reading from poppy seed bagels and muffins. It almost makes me wonder if it is just a mechanism that I have developed that allows me to be lazy.
Thus I am thinking that I may try to power through my eubleaka I am having with the story I am trying to write for the May contest. See what the end result would appear like, then edit, instead of letting myself get sucked into a vortex of no-story-go.
Eubleaka?
Hi Arcie,
So, otherwise, how are you doing?
I thought/think eu is a prefix meaning good, better, etc. like euphoria instead of dysphoria. Also, IMHO the ending should be ia rather than a. So there. ;-)
Hope things get better for you.
Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee

When inspiration strikes you so completely, that you know the history of the extras (the guy mowing his lawn 8 houses away) to detailed extent that the story just... writes itself. It's one variation on the family of disease I call:
Other types of Ephiphanitis strike you with sudden understanding, or allow you to truthfully answer the question, "Hey! What's the big idea?!?"
