What is Writer's Block? A Paradox Defined

I’m really pulling my brains out today, trying to figure out what to write about. It’s a fact that to get better at writing, I need to practice every day. But today? It’s just not happening. I think I’m experiencing a major case of writer’s block because I can’t come up with a single topic to write about.

"Writer's block is a condition, primarily associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. The condition ranges in difficulty from coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work for years. Throughout history, writer's block has been a documented problem." ~ Wiki

However, am I really experiencing writer’s block? I’m writing something down, and I’m having thoughts. I think I might be contradicting myself, though. Is writing about having writer’s block actually a form of writer’s block? I think I’ve just discovered a paradox. I’m caught in circular thoughts that aren’t getting me anywhere with my writing—and they’re not getting you anywhere either as you read this nonsense.

"A paradox is a statement that apparently contradicts itself and yet might be true." ~  Wiki
