Here's my go-to "About the Author" biography for the basics:

"Adam Wassil currently lives in the Cleveland, OH area. He graduated from Brandeis University in 2013 with a Master of Arts in Cultural Anthropology; a more-or-less native of Northern Michigan (Northern Lower Peninsula, sorry Yoopers), he'd previously attended Central Michigan University, where he received Bachelors of Science degrees in both History and Anthropology. At the moment, he is employed in the telecommunications industry.

In his free time, Adam is an avid videogamer and tabletop roleplayer, though he does enjoy the developmental process of gaming as well. As you'd expect, he also spends a fair bit of time reading and writing, both prose and poetry. When he's not gaming or ...more

To keep this brief-ish, "writer's block" isn't some external thing, like an affliction that seeps in through an open window. It's all you. And it's important to stop characterizing it as something external because as long as it remains outside of us rather than a part of us, it gives us something to shift blame to and lean on when it comes to the justification process, whether we're making excuses to ourselves or someone else. And this is something we all do, it's natural. But consider this: "I have writer's block" is one thing, and "I don't have any ideas" is another altogether. One sounds insurmountable in its vagueness while the other raises simple questions - like "well, why not?" - that can actually help us make our way through to the next phase of our work rather than standing in our way as some looming, mental disease.

tl;dr: Go get interested in your work, or work on something you're interested in.(less)
