writer's block 

A condition that may occur while writing. It causes the person afflicted to be unable to think of what to write next. Typically, the less interesting the topic is to the writer, the higher the severity and chance of occurence.

Some English instructors (different from teachers, who actually teach) will exploit this by having their students write about a topic that hardly anyone cares about. Those who get the most severe cases of writer's block will fail because they couldn't think of anything to write.

A: So I had to write an essay over the importance of having friends with different cultures and whatnot.
B: How'd you do?
A: I got writer's block before I could even begin. And failed.
B: Again?
A: Again.

Writer's Bump 

A callous formed on the finger your pencil rests on as a result of writing by hand too much.

"What's that on your finger?"
"It's a Writer's Bump, cause I write a lot."

Writer's Block 

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue work on a piece of writing

Mark has writer's block, so he can't write the script to a movie that had a great start. His writer's block was caused by his annoying nephew who stifled creativity. He claims if his nephew was around J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter would never exist.

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 Boner 

n.
A certain state of being for a writer where he/she suddenly has an incredible urge and inspiration to write and write and write some more, most of the time, not even knowing where his/her ideas are coming from.

n.
contrary to a Writer's Block.

n.
also applicable to artists (artist's boner) where hundreds of images for things they'd like to draw suddenly appear in their minds. As a result, you can see a person with an artist's boner scribbling and doodling pages upon pages in their sketchbook/notebook/etc., as if in a trance.

Guy1: I woke up this morning with the weirdest urge to write my ass off... :|

Guy2: it's called a writer's boner. it's writer's block--reversed. hah!

Guy1: that's like... so fucking ironic and true... but it's the perfect way to describe it! It's like everything fucking... makes sense!

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.

Nurse: What caused those contusions on your forehead?
Author: *gingerly touching wounds on forehead* I have writer's block.
