Writer's block is usually not *not* being able to write anything. For me, it's more not being able to write anything that I deem decent. Basically, the best cure I've come up with is to keep writing crap until the good stuff comes out.

I tried to communicate that... did it not come across that way?

Actually, it did, but I missed it the first read through! 
Maybe, if you elaborate on each kind of writer's block... or something. It seems like an awfully short entry for such a subject.

You should check out the books by Lawrence Block, the writer, who blocks out exactly what writer's block is.
Ecktually, I have never had writer's block. What I have is a great difficulty in finishing things properly, staying on track, and going back and editing.
I've gotten a lot better since I finished my first draft of my novel.
After six odd months and 365 pages, anything less seems trivial.

I agree, I love starting things... but the whole ending thing has thus far escaped me...
peace.

There are some writers who write the beginning and the end and then spend two years trying to make the ends meet.
