A practical description of writer's block
Here is a brief practical description of writer's block ; You grab a pen, and seize a page to your desk with a mission to scribe a nice write up. But at the end of the day, you are able to write only few lines before running out of words or ideas.
Many writers who have experienced this have ended up abandoning the write up and seeking for a new idea. But, some writer's immunity to this disease could be so low that they abandon the writing duty, thinking they have lost the talent.
However professional writers cannot afford to give in to writers block. Probably because they have a whole lot of audience awaiting their latest release. It might even be because they're in the middle of writing a novel.
