Reverse Writer's-Block

As the name implies, this is the opposite of Writer's Block. This means that the writer, instead of blanking, gets an overflow of ideas- the downside is that these ideas will usually not be related to each other. For instance, an author may be trying to write a biography and, due to Reverse Writer's Block, get ideas for the biography, ideas for a story about god-knows-what, lines for a poem, characters for a script, and so on.

This can be a good thing in that, due to the massive writing one does because of this, improvement can be accomplished. They can exercise grammar, word usage, and creativity.

There is no cure, I'm afraid.
Dr. Morrow attempted to begin writing her medical essay, but due to reverse Writer's-Block she could only think to write of a rich leprechaun and following it up on an expository piece discussing computers.

writer's block

A point in writing where the writer runs head first into a brick wall in their writing process. Which may result in a writer bashing their head repeatedly into their keyboard/laptop/notebook/etc. until words or blood is freely flowing. Also might be because the characters are fed up with all the crap the author puts them through and go on strike.

gamer's block

a condition in which a gamer longs to play a game, but upon sitting at their set up they find themselves staring at the only the screen. They look through their available games, lusting for something to engage in, but ultimately find nothing. They are stuck hopelessly fishing in the vast ocean of content, unable to make a catch. The curse of the gamer, if you will.
"I've been sifting through my games for the past thirty minutes and haven't opened a single application. Guess I'm going through some gamer's block."

"I just looked around for a new game, realized I didn't want a new game, opened up one I already have, stared at the menu for a few minutes, and closed the game. I'm back at square one. I've got a serious case of gamer's block."
