Creative person is having trouble creating.
a. Writer has writer's block.
b. Painter can't seem to paint anything good.
c. Sculptor can't seem to sculpt anything good.
d. Creative person's work is reviled by critics who don't understand how brilliant it is.
e. Creative person meets a muse (either one of the nine classical Muses or a more individual muse) and interacts with them, usually by keeping them captive.
Perfect timing! The above hits home right now.
And to think that a writer's block didn't used to be such a big deal. In the past, I was more inclined in general to play video games than to write, and there were also certain other projects such as Kanji in Context and my failed attempt to translate Mother: The Original Story.
