(I'd like to use the term 'writer' very loosely to refer to myself here.)
Every writer from Pulitzer Prize winners and Nobel Literary Laureates to the likes of amateur bloggers like me have experienced the infamous 'writer's block'. Your mind just goes blank when you've finally some time, and find yourself in front of your laptop or typewriter. I've felt like I was a permanent resident on the writer's block at times, but then, one thought always bails me out. I start thinking about what I want to write and not what I have to write - and then the words start flowing (I want to say, flowing like the Niagara Falls, but I won't take it that far).
I'm fortunate enough not to depend on writing as my sole source of income and I want to use that incentive to feel free to write whatever makes my soul dance. Having any audience is a nice bonus. Afterall, doing-this-because-I-love-it the only reason I even want to do it...

i would like to view this differently.what you call to be a writers block doesn't seem so to me.it is the attitude of our mind to tantalize us. the moment we tell it please don't do this or please don't irritate me with such thoughts,it will see to that we get a an extra dosage of it.similarly when u say i am going to write an article now ,it is the decision of your heart and not that of your mind.it is the mind that takes all our decisions. we will me able to write or be at peace only if the mind wishes for it.heart is meant for emotions only.as in your case i look upon it like this.you have been tempted by your heart to write an article while your mind must not have been ready with it.that is why you experienced this "writers block".
