Writer's Block
Here is an interesting quote by Patrick Dunleavy:
"Writing things down in a systematic way is an act of commitment, a decision to firm up and crystallise what we think, to prevent the constant reprocessing and reconfiguring...like all such resolutions of uncertainty, making this commitment is psychologically difficult, possibly forcing each of us to confront the feebleness or inadequacy of our own thought. This potential for disappointment can in turn create incentives for us to postpone starting to write, a chain of reactions which may culminate in 'writer's block' even for experienced writers."
