I work every day, building plans and then trying to be creative with my lecture and materials for all those involved. My creative being is turn on full throttle all day...yet I can't write when I get home.
One of the most interesting aspects that I've learned about writers block over the years is how often it is tied to an emotional state. In my case, it's usually tied to depression and exhaustion.
Writer's block, for me, isn't so much based around a lack of ideas. It is base around a lack of enthusiasm to write. For a long time I've tried to be a writer and I can't seem to get my foot through the door. Therefore, when I try to write something I have to first ponder...why? What is my exigence? Why in the world am I going to waste my time writing words no one will ever see?
Thus the depression demon speaks.
The other voice which taunts me a bit more is that of exhaustion. It's not so much a voice, I guess, as it is pull on me. The TV is so alluring after a long day's work. A nap feels good. Playing Guild Wars 2 (tm) will give me some new ideas...which I promptly forget while I'm trying to accomplish some goal.
The strangest thing, though, about writer's block, in my case, is that I have ideas flowing. I just can't get myself to develop them.
How about you? What is writer's block like for you?
