It is an anxiety we feel when we are unable to transfer ideas from our heads to the page.
It is a feeling of inadequacy—that whatever we write will be unoriginal, unimaginative, or have very little value.
It is a temporary state in which we are so overwhelmed with the expectations of an assignment, instructor, ourselves (inner editor) that we can’t get started.
There are variations to this type of writing. In general, the ideas are the same: writing freely without considering grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.
The most important aspect of this exercise is to just write.
Variations include: write what comes to your mind as you focus on your topic; write with your eyes closed; cover your computer screen and type freely; write slowly while focusing on each shaping of the letters; or set a timer/alarm and write non-stop for 10-15 minutes.
If you usually write at a computer, try the kitchen or dining room table.
If you usually write at a desk, try a seat by a window. Or how about a coffee shop, a park, or the library?
Take a break from trying to write. This will help you to rejuvenate (but come back soon)!
Take some deep breaths. People who tell you that physical exercise is important for mental activity are telling the truth.
If nothing's happening on the computer screen or paper, take a walk around the block. Hit the treadmill or tennis courts or drive to the gym. But take your notebook with you.
Fresh blood will be flowing through your brain and jogging might just jog something loose in your head. It happens.
Avoid the problem of getting started by starting on a part of the project that interests you more and then come back to the introductory matter later.
After all, your readers will never know you wrote the introduction last (another joy of word-processing technology!).
Talk over your paper with a friend, or just blab away into a tape recorder (even better).
Play the tape back and write down what you hear in clusters of ideas or free write about them.
Set up a time and place to write with someone else or a few other writers.
Start by talking about what you are working on, your struggle, and what needs to be done.
You can set a specific amount of time for everyone to write silently (an hour or a few).
Then come back together in the end to vocalize what you accomplished (and what you still want to accomplish if more needs to be done).
This goal setting, accountability, and community are highly valuable for the writing process.

Yes I drew it again, but It's just fits so perfectly (I also color picked from uthr this time)
Here's the page, I know he has half a domino but I removed it for artistic purposes
The old version:
I'm freaking losing it over here. It took like a year for Timmy to realise that he and Bernard were even boyfriends, let alone for them to have their first on-page smooch. Meanwhile Jon and Jay are like
'Hi, we're 18, and in love, and really freaking horny for each other!'
I can't properly express just how much I love that one pairing is 'Tim Drake has just seen his boyfriend's abs, and now has to sit down with his head between his knees for a while, and last week they brushed fingers and he almost swooned like a Victorian maiden.' while the other is 'Jon and Jay cannot come to the phone right now because they are busy fooling around on top of the LexCorp sign.'
adhd paralysis sucks bcuz im just sitting there and my brain is like
YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME YOU ARE WASTING TIME

this is how you lose the time war quotes that make me go balls to the wall insane + stick meme gore
Whumpee who becomes incredibly hyper when they’re feverish, and has to be held or restrained by Caretaker until they calm down.
Bad Caretaker (or Whumper) who doesn’t take Whumpee’s illness seriously unless they have a fever.
Whumpee believing that another character is sick or otherwise in danger and can’t recognise that they’re the one who needs help.
Whumpee who refuses to sleep out of paranoia, only worsening their condition.
Whumpee with a fever in summer, who chalks up being hot all the time to the weather.
Feverish Whumpee saying horrible things that they never normally would. (Does Caretaker forgive them? Or do they think that Whumpee’s fever has just brought out their true colours?)
Whumpee lying on any cool surface they can without even thinking about it.
A fever caused by an infected wound being mistaken for one caused by sickness. (Cue whumpee only receiving half the care they actually need.)
Whumpee being so delirious that they start calling out for a deceased loved one.
