writers block
Author's empty page
Writer's block is the inability to produce new work or continue writing, not from lack of skill but from some mental obstacle—anxiety, perfectionism, or simply being stuck.
The condition affects writers of all kinds and can last hours or years: I've had writer's block for months.
