Writer's crap

A condition in which a writer, despite suffering from 'writer's block' insists on continuing the book and writing whatever comes into their head.

See Twilight.

Twilight Fan: Dude, have you read twilight?!
Person: Yeah, I thought Stephenie Meyer was suffering from Writer's Crap all the way through.

A Writer’s Religious Partiality

A writer’s religious partiality becomes clear when he chooses the names of the characters for most of his stories, novels etc. from his own religion.

A: I have tried to invent a new term called 'a writer’s religious partiality'. When a Muslim writer sits at the desk to write a story, then he thinks about Muslim names for the characters. Similarly, when a Hindu writer decides to write a story, Hindu names appear before his mind; a Christian writer chooses Christian names for his novels, dramas etc. But, sometimes a Muslim, Hindu and Christian writers also choose the characters' names from other religions. However, it happens 'sometimes'. In most of the cases, a writer's religious partiality becomes clear. I must say that this kind of partiality is normal and accepted by everyone. There's nothing wrong in it because a writer’s religious faith, his upbringing, his own community etc. influence him to choose names from his own religion.
B: Yes, your observation is correct.

Terry Waite's allotment

Self-explanatory to Britishers in the 1990's, this description of unruly hair will puzzle the rest of us, so:
1. Terry Waite served as the Anglican Church's international diplomacy negotiator. In 1987, he was himself taken hostage in Lebanon and held mostly in solitary confinement until his release in 1991. He's a well-known public speaker now.
2. "Allotment" in Britain is an urban rented garden patch.
Hence, Terry Waite's allotment would be untended and weed-choked.
I haven't determined if Waite actually was an allotment holder at the time of his confinement.

The man on the bench had a red beard like Terry Waite's allotment.

writer's block

1) A period of time when a writer's mind is completely blank and drained of any kind of inspirational essence. They are unable to write. They start to bang their head against the basement wall. It bleeds. They scream and shout in agony. And finally, they pray that the pain from this blunt physical trauma and the sight of the sweet sweet catalytic blood finally gives them SOME kind of weak-ass idea.

2) Something that I never seem to have really. Hence why the above scenario was purely speculation on my part. I can't help but imagine however, that is somewhat similar to Dante's second level of hell.

Hey man, I have writer's block. Any advice?

"How about slitting your throat?"

"Okay, cool. Thanks!" *slits throat*

"uhh.. whoops. I kinda meant that as in writing a poem or short story or something about slitting your throat. Or maybe an essay about suicide. My bad."

writer's overload

An ailment common with writers of all kinds. The opposite of writer's block, it's when one has so many ideas for a story that their brain shuts down in an effort to cope, usually resulting in a splitting headache and a craving for chocolate,potato chips, or some other unhealthy snack.

Usually lasts about an hour, a day in severe cases.

Friend: "Hey, what's wrong?"

Writer: "I've got writer's overload, man. Can you go get me some chocolate and an aspirin?"

Terry Waite's allotment

(Simile.) Describes a badly overgrown ladygarden or punani in need of a lot of TLC. (And possibly an industrial-sized strimmer.)

"I pulled down her knickers, and she had a twat like Terry Waite's allotment! I've seen long-haired poodles with less hair than her!"

Writer's Block

When the writer's imaginary friends stop talking to them.

Writer: "I have writer's block!"
Writer's friend: "Emily and Bob aren't talking to you?"
Writer: *Sigh* "Yeah,"
