writer's block
I tend to get writers block if I'm writing for a long time and I think I use up all my ideas on a book or post. I've seen, and experienced myself, writers block where I just ramble on about the same thing for an hour and then trash all the pages because after I read back over it, it's complete garbage

usually know exactly what I want to write about. I know the niche, I have to knowledge, I have the experience, I have everything I need, but sometimes I just can't get it out. It's literally stuck inside of me. It's like my hands are frozen. Nothing happens.

To fight writers block I'll usually write down a table of contents before I start writing. I'll plan out everything and even give secondary bullet points for each article, post, topic, thread, book, ebook, chapter, etc. I'll set this up over the course of a week with the longer things I write, like an ebook book for example, and for anything else I'll take a few minutes to map it out. This is obviously something I try to do when I'm writing an informative post, if I'm just responding to someone on a forum, blog or website I'll usually just wing it since the post probably won't be more than a few hundred words (like this post lol). I'll do this to avoid hitting any mental walls, and if I do hit one, I'll tend to move on and start at the next bullet point. I will then come back later and add additional information where I got blocked.
Another way I deal with writers block is to just leave my work and come back a day, or longer, later and pick up where I left off. Sometimes people can't do this because their block is a week or month long, which is never fun. I've only experienced a block longer than 3 days, one time. I would assume that writing a book about vampires and making it intriguing is much more difficult than writing an ebook on something you do everyday already Ugh, I hate writers block :( I tend to get writers block if I'm writing for a long time and I think I use up all my ideas on a book or post.
