So what do you do to combat writer's block? I don't really know anything about the subject - the closest analogy I can draw is due to a memory disorder, I can't use formal outlines for assignments like reports or presentations, so I have to just start working on various sections relating to the topic at hand without worrying too much about they fit together, salvaging whatever is useful, and repeating until something workable emerges. Although put that way, the procedure really sounds more like some kind of weird conceptual metastasis than writing(composition through mutation?), and isn't what one could call efficient.
