There is no actual term in the writer's circle to describe this particular emotion. Maybe because not everyone goes through it. Maybe I'm the only one.
I tried calling it "Writer's Frustration", but that term popped up a bunch of articles related to "I'm not getting published". I don't have the qualifications to read those since, ya know, I'm not published. They don't apply to me. Calling this feeling "Writer's Block" usually turns up articles on finding creativity again. But this is not what it's about. I have Writer's Frustra-Block!
I'm so frustrated that I'm blocked. In writing :3
Someone give me the Nobel Name Come Up With Prize (coined by PeanutButterGamer).
Basically this feeling is where I HAVE creativity. I KNOW what I want to write. I want to write. I want to DO THE THINGS! WRITE ALL THE THINGS! I just can't. It's like when something really, REALLY is on the tip of your tongue, but it won't get the fuck off your tongue already. And so you sit there and get frustrated, and the more frustrated you are, the more your thoughts get jumbled and blood pressure rises. And that just makes you more frustrated because you really, really want to write. OMG! You're so excited! You have everything in place. Just type the damn thing! But your fingers just hover over the keyboard keys and your fingertips are aching to push down on those square buttons and your eyes strain at the white page with the endlessly blinking | that indicates where text is supposed to appear. But for SOME reason, you just can't make it happen!
This is what I'm going through. Writer's Frustra-Block.
And it sucks.
