The opposite of writer's block, but just as debilitating. Writer's flood is when an unfocused, uncontrollable deluge of ideas come to mind, leaving the writer with way too much information to digest. Most of the time, the ideas that spring forth are completely incompatible with the current topic (e.g. robot ideas when the book takes place in Victorian England or recipes when writing an IT manual). The end result is the same as writer's block: an inability to create a functional work.
I started my college thesis yesterday, but I had a writer's flood of cyberpunk plot seeds. I'm still on page one.
noun
1 : one who is not a very good writer

sports writer : First of all let me say to begin with that Jamal Reynolds is in my own personal opinion a draft bust.
regular writer : In my personal opinion drafting Jamal Reynolds was a bad decision for the Green Bay Packers.
When your brain gears just stop and no matter how hard you try you cannot feasibly come up with two words to type on your computer screen that make sense together and therefore cannot finish your epic novel about the quest to slay a dragon er whatever and every thought about the book that crosses your mind is immediately pushed back with "That would sound like f*ing s*t if I put that in words" and absolutely no inspiration can even enter your mind anymore and the end of your google doc is just stuck with the hero at his girlfriend's house crying on her floor for his missing brother and essentially, you feel like your brain is just a puddle of s*t.
"I have severe writer's block, I can't think of what to write next."
"Billy won't be finishing his book soon, he has writer's block."
Trypophobia, in small terms, means the fear or disgust of holes.
Writer's Trypophobia means the fear of plot holes in a story you're writing.
To write yourself a large novel, and realise at one point, that there's at least one plot hole, and now you're terrified of how many other other plot holes you've dug for yourself. Well done. *slow claps*
"Hey Nanowrimo, I'm stuck on my story! I've got so many plot holes to fix!"
"Do you need any help or hints?"
"Yes, please. I have such Writer's Trypophobia!"
Someone who is constantly writing in a notebook or typing on a computer, but never showing anyone what they write. If asked, they just simply say they're working on something complicated. Also, is probably a dude and wears sweaters and sweatpants regardless of season.
Guy 1: Yo dude, I think the tall quiet kid is an erotica writer.
Guy 2: Yeah, he acts like one and he makes money from literally nowhere.
Guy 1: And he always writes oddly well.
somebody that takes older artist(for example BIG). lyrics. The rapper will then act as if he wrote them. If tha older rappers name is in tha song the rapper who took tha lyrics wuld change the name to their name, and pretend lyke they didnt know it.
"Jay-z took parts of B.I.G. lyrics, and changed tha tempo of tha songs. hes a writer biter"

Akin to writer's block except that writer' wank is the opposite problem: an overabundance of inspiration. The term wank in this context describes when a fiction writer uses their narrative to promote their own beliefs, even when it is inappropriate and well outside the scope of the story. The implication behind the term is that the author is merely committing self-gratification without regard as to how it will affect the plot.
Some genres of fiction that are especially susceptible to this are science fiction, romance, and alternate history. While all writers are encouraged to imbue their work with a strong underlying message, projects that fall victim to a wank attack are notorious for yielding one-dimensional, cliched, and heavily biased material that readers with differing opinions will have difficulty enjoying.
Hey, check out this New York Times Bestseller. It's about how socialism saves Europe from brink of World War II and then successfully defeats those mouth-breathing Yanks when they come looking for oil. Neat-o! Although I think $6.99 is a little pricey to let some frustrated socilogy professor writer's wank all over me.
