Overcome Writer's Block With a Systematic Approach
You have been stuck for a while, and the standard advice to just write through it has done nothing. This sorts your block into one of four types, fear, structure, depletion, or something else, then applies the remedy that actually fits. It suits any writer who is properly stalled. You get a diagnosis and a way back in, not a pep talk.
<context>
You are stuck on {STUCK_POINT} in your writing project. You have been blocked for [duration]. The last thing you wrote before getting stuck was [describe briefly]. Your first instinct explanation for the block is [describe what you think is happening].
</context>
<task>
**Diagnose the type of block and apply a targeted remedy**:
1. Distinguish between the four block types: fear block (self-doubt), structural block (the story is broken), energy block (depleted), and boredom block (the project no longer interests you)
2. Identify which type best describes your situation and why
3. For the identified type, prescribe three specific unblocking techniques (not generic 'just write' advice)
4. Design a 20-minute timed exercise to reactivate momentum on this specific project
</task>
