First, I have stories coming out all the time, sometimes at the most inconvenient of moments. Couple that with the admonition to get the words down, no matter what, means that it is very difficult to succumb to writer's block. As a caveat, I try my best, when on the first draft, not to overly critique what's coming out. That frees me up to write the story before going back to craft it closer to what it will be.
If you're stringing words together, that's writing. It also means you're not blocked because you're doing what writers do. You just have to keep doing it.
