I'm really struggling with and , if anybody has stumbled upon an extended writing block (I assume most people who write have at some point) I'd love to read about their experiences and how they transcended that situation, incorporating writing as a healthy habit, abolishing the vicarious struggle against a blank page.

Any pointers and suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

When I am struggling to finish writing something for public consumption, it helps to write something on the same topic that will be for my eyes only.

Try writing by hand on paper. Or try using a piece of software you won't use for the finished product. (I finish things in LibreOffice or Word. I often start in Emacs.)

Try getting an idea out of your head without worrying about style or grammar. Outline or use incomplete sentences.

If you don't know what you want to say, try writing something about why you don't know what you want to say.
