Writer's balk

Similar to writer's block, a writer is mentally incapacitated from writing. However, the incapacitation stems from lack of willpower or lack of interest/enthusiasm in the actual project, rather than a lack of imagination or creativity. Is often paired with, though not necessarily a part of, procrastination. Can be used as a verb (i.e., writer's balking, writer's balked).

1: Hey, did you start that essay that 3 assigned you?
2: No. Writer's balk. It's a shitty subject to talk about. I don't like writing about it.

3: What's keeping 5 from finishing the review?
4: She writer's balked because the movie is that awful.
3: Do I have to finish it?
4: Yeah.

Writer's Block

1) A period of time where a writer has no inspiration, thought-process, or even the faintest of ideas as to how to start or continue their current work.

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.

writer's dilemma

The challenge, going forward, of creating drama in a world stripped of actual human interaction.

He'd need to set his story in the past. Or in the distant future. How could he tell a 2020 love story of a couple wearing masks? Home alone, staring at screens? Storytelling required contact. For the next while, this would be the writer's dilemma.
