Writer's block, the sworn enemy of essayists, novelists, and journalists of all races and creeds, is most effectively combated with logic, patience, and perhaps most of all, an ability to acknowledge that not everything we write can be on a subject that truly appeals to us. It seems that the harder one struggles against writer's block, the more powerful it becomes, until a maximum point of frustration is reached, and in cases where a time restraint is present, the author must yield to whatever topic he pulls out when grasping at the metaphorical straws.

A very superb analysis of the writer's block. The above quote from the end of your essay couldn't be more true!
I find quite a bit of humor in the fact that you wrote on the very topic that was preventing you from writing. Quite clever of you I must say.
