Writer's spasms are a familiar affliction for anyone involved in writing or creative work. These spasms may refer to writer's block, creative block, or artistic stagnation and may occur during the writing process. To combat these spasms, writers often rely on a variety of techniques such as free-writing, stream of consciousness writing, brainstorming, or simply taking a break from the work. Other expressions that may describe writer's spasms include artist's block, composer's block, and performer's block. Regardless of the term used, writer's spasms are a common condition, but with some effort, they can be overcome, and the work can continue.
