I will slightly disagree on the writer's block thing. When I have severe depression, I often lose the ability to really even talk coherently because language seems to disappear in the fog of depression. It's an awful feeling. So it's a block, but not from laziness, etc, only mental illness, and it manifests itself in my writing. Would this be "writer's block"? I don't know.
I don't think so. That's an external factor. And you know what it is and what it's doing. (I get it, too--I know this pain.) It's just insurmountable. This is kind of what I'm going through at the moment. Too much existential dread, not enough focus. The ideas are still there.
Great post!
