The in-between Writing & Writing Block

[Bobple]

So we know what writing block is.

The good old being unable write time.

But, what is the called when you can write, but it slow/hard. So instead of 2000 you write 500, instead 4000 you write 200, instead of a 1000 you write a 100. What is that called?

Dun dun daaaaa!

That is the question of the day which we shall answer (Or not!)

I know I have referred to as "I am just having a writing trip hazard" before.

But do people have a better one, or am I just so smart that a writing trip hazard will be added to the dictionary!

(And if there is an official term, erm, don't use it, we are here to create history!)

Remember to have fun.

Writing slump, writing sludge, writing trudge, fuck, my writing won't budge.

Writing slump, writing sludge, writing trudge, fuck, my writing won't budge.

Sludge is my favorite one, it feels like I'm dragging myself through a swamp, neck deep in mud.

 

[ShrimpShady]

The usual.

Hahaha! Don't we have enough words in our dictionary?!
Alright, I give it a shot. Maybe Word Wading? Prose Paralysis? Keyboard Quicksand??

Oh Oh maybe Lietarary Lag if you dab also in programming.

What else? Slow-Mo Scribbles since we're on Scribble Hub and just want to have our own language.

Snail Drafting? Turtle Typing?

Oh wait, how about Text Traffic Jam like words are backed up like a Monday morning commute ?

Okay, I have one final one, and that's it: ? Sisyphus Scripting
Huh? Huh? That was seriously funny???
Because writing today feels like pushing a boulder up a hill, only to roll back down the word count mountain tomorrow.

So instead of 2000 you write 500, instead 4000 you write 200, instead of a 1000 you write a 100. What is that called?

I call that me writing at my best.

For me it's called "Real Life Getting in the Way of Writing"

 

[Representing_Tromba]

Writing slump is what I call it. There's not quite a block but stuff keeps getting in the way.

 

[Clo]

ADHD kicks again writing,
Or "I couldn't hyperfocus that day" writing

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

The, "you realize you got a life and using it on this" existential crisis. ;-;

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

Writing slump sounds about right.
