Response to Ryan Lawson- Writers Block

I completely agree that this demon called writers block does exist and can torment everyone in a creative field. Writer's block isn't limited to writers as Ryan had detailed in his post. Ryan detailed the struggles of a manga creator dealing with the terrors of writers block and not having use for things he has created or not being ale to create something he does need. Clearly as in manga, (like a comic novel) if the story progresses without the artwork, than there is no way to continue. Likewise if the artwork continues without the story line, then the entire story may be compromised to flow with the artwork that has already been created.
I also have felt the struggle of dealing with writers block but not like Ryan in manga creation. A few years ago I attempted to write a book and  create artwork for the book. However, after many attempts and many days spent writing I hit a wall. I was able to get rough sketches done and I wrote nearly five short chapters for the novel. Then the writer's block hit both parts of the novel head on. I was unable to finish any drawings the way that I imagined them in my head. All of the drawings looked as though a four yea old could have drawn them. Also after five chapters, I had no more ideas on how to transition the story to where I wanted it to go.
However, this terrible disease does not only apply to the writing of literature. I have also hit this block in many other aspects of my creative life. After my idea to write a novel had died, I  tried to move into video game creation. Unfortunately, I ran out of time to continue to work on the game and writers block hit me in the early stages of designing the characters. Finally while playing some video games (such as minecraft) I have hit writer's block and run out of things to do and create while playing. this causes me the most anguish as I want to play but I become frustrated because I have no idea what to do. This disease can ruin many things and can take over your life. However, there are ways to regain creative motion and you must work to get back into the groove.
