Ellie Beals
Happily, I've never had it, either as a novelist or as a consultant who undertook hundreds of writing assignments. I think the way I've avoided it is by adopting the axiom: Just Do It. I sit down. I start to write. Eventually I get my rhythm. I may end up discarding much of what I've written. But the rhythm is retained and allows me to move gracefully forward.
