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.

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

When one or both elbows starts to hurt because it has been on a hard surface for too long, usually from writing, drawing, or using the computer.

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.

Writer's Trypophobia

Trypophobia, in small terms, means the fear or disgust of holes.
Writer's Trypophobia means the fear of plot holes in a story you're writing.

To write yourself a large novel, and realise at one point, that there's at least one plot hole, and now you're terrified of how many other other plot holes you've dug for yourself. Well done. *slow claps*
"Hey Nanowrimo, I'm stuck on my story! I've got so many plot holes to fix!"
"Do you need any help or hints?"
"Yes, please. I have such Writer's Trypophobia!"

Writer's Block

When your brain gears just stop and no matter how hard you try you cannot feasibly come up with two words to type on your computer screen that make sense together and therefore cannot finish your epic novel about the quest to slay a dragon er whatever and every thought about the book that crosses your mind is immediately pushed back with "That would sound like f*ing s*t if I put that in words" and absolutely no inspiration can even enter your mind anymore and the end of your google doc is just stuck with the hero at his girlfriend's house crying on her floor for his missing brother and essentially, you feel like your brain is just a puddle of s*t.
