{{quote|''"He had writer's block once. It was the worst ten minutes of his life."''
|'''[[Harlan Ellison]]''' referring to [[Isaac Asimov]], a very prolific writer.}}
Someone struggles with putting pen to paper and can't get their thoughts out. Regardless of whether it's something as simple as a school report or as complex as a full-length novel, they just can't bring themselves to write what they want.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
For a work [[Meta Concepts|written about the writer's own writer's block]], see [["How I Wrote This Article" Article]].
This is very much [[Truth in Television]] (except for the part about a writer never running into the same obstacle again - recurring writer's block is a thing). Writing is not always easy; just ask any [[Real Life]] author.
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Happens to Nakuru in episode 13 of [[Mayo Chiki]]. After a boy confesses his love to her, she gets very confused by it as she feels she's not the type to attract boys, since she's a [[Meganekko]] and obsessed [[Doujinshi]] writer/artist of [[Boys Love|BL manga]]. She then asks [[Mistaken for Gay|Jiro]] out on a date to see if it's simply because of her [[Buxom Is Better|boobs]], and after he helps her by barely resisting her advances, she seems to snap out of her block. But then she also has a [[Love Epiphany]] when she [[Bishie Sparkle|looks at him afterwards]] as well, and hilariously runs away.
