I've written quite a lot about writer's block on other sites (mainly Hub Pages), but basically, I don't believe it exists. Writers are a strange breed and a few of us seem to relish putting ridiculous barriers in the way of creativity. Some people even enjoy the vexation of not being able to write!
When I first started trying to write stories, I'd often stare at my blank pad trying to come up with an idea (this was in my pre-laptop days) and a lot of times I just couldn't get started. Now, of course, I know that all I need to do is to start writing - doesn't matter if it doesn't always make sense, it's just the old sit-down-and-do-it routine.
