The dreaded "block" can mean that nothing gets done. The page or the screen remains stubbornly empty. But more likely for me, the trouble is that I write without being ready to write. I churn out bad sentences and make wrong plot turns and then fail to see the flaws until I've invested days and many thousands of words in an embarrassing mess.
Hard physical activity helps me. And sleep. And best of all, the willingness to throw out the awful as soon as I see it.
My career has its limitations. But as a rule, being "blocked" is not much of a factor.

Hello, I’d like to ask a few questions regarding the Vex from Destiny. The Pyramidon is described as an infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space created by the Vex, however there is contention amongst parts of the community whether or not this is an actual Hilbert Space or not. Is it an actual Hilbert Space or not?

Thanks for the reply, it means a lot! Do you remember if there was any types of music, imagery or literature that you used to get you in the mindset of writing for Bungie? Sorry I have so many questions, I really love the style of the games world so much, I want to try and capture it myself.
