Nothing has ever led me to believe that writer's block otherwise exists; where someone can't write anything.

I'm working on a scene in my head when I'm watching a movie, or sitting in the drive-thru waiting for a burger, or having drinks out with friends. I even write in my dreams. Frankly, I'd rather know how one turns it off.(less)
