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?"

I was signing cheques last night for all my bills and got a terrible writer's cramp.

All my cheques came back NSF. I guess my account has writer's cramp.
