Writer's Block

A condition in which a writer or author cannot feasibly type words onto their computer and every last drop of inspiration soup has been drank and nothing is coming to mind that would make sense or not sound like bulls* and all your friends are expecting you to finish chapter 13 and wondering weather or not billy the fantastic will make his way out of the cave or be stuck there forever.

Also known as "Ihatemyself" syndrome that can also cause yourself to bang your head repeatedly into your keyboard and hoping any of the blood spilled on the letters will bring something into your head to replace said blood and allow you to continue your story.

"Bob: Is Jeff finishing that book?
Jane: No, he told me he has Writer's Block."

"ghost writer" AUTHORity

Rampant in "chain of command" situations --- especially the military and "mega-biz" establishments --- whereby everybody wants to push underlings around but then hastily "passes the buck" and claims ignorance/innocence when things go sour. Refers to the deplorable practice of an arrogant/dictatorial/irresponsible/ignorant a**h**e with way too much power ("authority") giving unwise/ineffective/counter-productive orders to one or more hapless underlings, brusquely refusing to listen to their urgently-beseeching appeals about the fallacy/unfairness/danger of proceeding as he told them, but then suddenly shedding all knowledge/responsibility (i.e., not admitting that he was indeed the "author" of those crazy stipulations) regarding said preposterous directives whenever s**t hits the fan afterwards as a result of his subordinates' having reluctantly-but-obediently carried out his unwisely-mandated actions.

I long ago decided to not just blindly/arbitrarily follow orders/rules/laws, no matter what position or experience or education/training that their "authors" happened to supposedly possess... I **always** use my own judgement/conscience in all my actions. Too many times in the past, I've gotten in knee-deep doo-doo MYSELF for someone else's screw-ups in reasoning/planning, only to have said "idiot in power" pull da ol' "ghost writer" AUTHORity trick on me, never admitting or even falsely denying ever having told me to proceed that way, just so that HE would not have to suffer any of the fallout from his own preposterous directives.

Writer's Eureka

A phrase used to describe the sudden flood of ideas and inspiration to write, either a backstory, a story, or some other action of making literature. Can be a short flood or long term, depends of what you're writing.

"I know I have to do the dishes but I have writers eureka and I need to put all my ideas down."

"I don't have time, this writer's eureka doesn't last all day!"
"Jenna hasn't come out of her room, you think she has writer's eureka?"

Prompt Writer

Someone talked to a Generative AI to preform a task as part of their job or consistent hobby.

Tasks may include: Generating reports off a companies private dataset, Fact checking against court records that were trained by an official source, Human to AI assistant relations, Testing of LLM, and Graphic Art / Audio / Video rendering

Just got hired as a "Prompt Writer" at this automotive company. Apparently they scanned in like, the last 80 years of documents they have ever had and now I can just ask about any of it. So making line graphs is night and day.

I'm so happy the courts trained a modal with their court records. I was to tired of putting in information requests to pull physical files. I had to get reauthorize as a "Prompt Writer"?, But is basically lets me just log into their gov site and ask for the stenographer's transcript of any case at any date that I have access to. Even translates the shorthand for me.
