writer's block

A condition that may occur while writing. It causes the person afflicted to be unable to think of what to write next. Typically, the less interesting the topic is to the writer, the higher the severity and chance of occurence.

Some English instructors (different from teachers, who actually teach) will exploit this by having their students write about a topic that hardly anyone cares about. Those who get the most severe cases of writer's block will fail because they couldn't think of anything to write.

A: So I had to write an essay over the importance of having friends with different cultures and whatnot.
B: How'd you do?
A: I got writer's block before I could even begin. And failed.
B: Again?
A: Again.

writering

the act of authorship, the essence of being a writer, of having writerly qualities and possessing writerly skillz, especially in the case of creating fiction

Often includes the believable manipulation of truth, the careful adjustment of events, and the insertion of multi-layered meaning in everything that is said or done, despite the fact that no one else probably gets it.

That guy sees and interprets everything. He never stops writering, gosh!

Writer's Bump

A callous formed on the finger your pencil rests on as a result of writing by hand too much.

"What's that on your finger?"
