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.

Writer's Laziness

Similar to Writer's Block, Writer's Laziness is when you can't write, but for a different reason. You know exactly what to write, but are just too lazy to type anything up. Currently, no exact cures have been found. It is commonly associated with procrastination and may be remedied by an impending deadline, but data is too scattered to make a direct correlation.

"When is the next chapter of your book coming out?" "I know what to do, but I have Writer's Laziness."

Writer's Honesty

An honesty that transcends social convention and all judgement for the sake of their art.

"I never would have said that! Aren't you worried what people will think?" The friend who read the novel asked.

"Yes," the writer said, "but it was them or the book. I call it writer's honesty!"

Writer's elbow

"This project is killing me, I already got a bad case of writer's elbow."

writer's flood

The opposite of writer's block, but just as debilitating. Writer's flood is when an unfocused, uncontrollable deluge of ideas come to mind, leaving the writer with way too much information to digest. Most of the time, the ideas that spring forth are completely incompatible with the current topic (e.g. robot ideas when the book takes place in Victorian England or recipes when writing an IT manual). The end result is the same as writer's block: an inability to create a functional work.

I started my college thesis yesterday, but I had a writer's flood of cyberpunk plot seeds. I'm still on page one.
