The Writer's Block Convention Paradox

The Annual Writer's Block Convention was canceled again this year. Not because of low attendance—three thousand authors registered. The problem was that no one could write the opening speech. The keynote speaker stared at a blank page for six hours before emailing the organizers: 'I know exactly what I want to say. I just can't seem to start.' The irony was noted by everyone present, though none could articulate it.
