A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue work on a piece of writing
Mark has writer's block, so he can't write the script to a movie that had a great start. His writer's block was caused by his annoying nephew who stifled creativity. He claims if his nephew was around J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter would never exist.

2) Hell on earth.
1. I have writer's block. Kill me now.
2. I have writer's block– please just transform me into Icarus so I can fly towards the sun and burn myself alive.

When your brain gears just stop and no matter how hard you try you cannot feasibly come up with two words to type on your computer screen that make sense together and therefore cannot finish your epic novel about the quest to slay a dragon er whatever and every thought about the book that crosses your mind is immediately pushed back with "That would sound like f*ing s*t if I put that in words" and absolutely no inspiration can even enter your mind anymore and the end of your google doc is just stuck with the hero at his girlfriend's house crying on her floor for his missing brother and essentially, you feel like your brain is just a puddle of s*t.
"I have severe writer's block, I can't think of what to write next."
"Billy won't be finishing his book soon, he has writer's block."

An imaginary non-existant concept designed to help writers feel less guilty when they lack the mental capacity to write well for a certain time period. The real reason for this temporary lack of creativity is usually one of the following: distraction, health problems, lack of focus, laziness, or sometimes just the basic idea of writer's block can scare a writer into actually getting it.
Friend: Dude, your eyes are red, your hair is messy, the vain in your neck is throbbing and youve got that nervous twitch again!
