As for 'writer's block', I do not tend to get it - at least not in terms of physically being unable to get any words down on the page as often depicted in mainstream productions.

“Inmates ran from right to left then left to right and back again, chasing one another as predator or fleeing as prey. It was hard to tell one from the other.”
D.C. Emery, The Weltschmerz Penitentiary Part I: A Brutal Prison Tale of Crime, Imprisonment and Psychological Thrills

“We are ancient forms of energy, manifested in ways beyond our comprehension, living on borrowed time not owed to us. We are flying on a large rock in a void through infinite space and time, we are stardust and that is all.”
D.C. Emery

“You are at once both the quiet and the confusion of my heart.”
Franz Kafka

“I need solitude for my writing; not 'like a hermit' - that wouldn't be enough - but like a dead man.”
Franz Kafka

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
