Is Writer's Block Real? (No, But Actually...)

I'm circling back on one of the most hostly contested points from my Harsh Writing Advice video: that Writer's Block isn't real. GASP. Yes, but. I'm expanding on why I like to say that to newer writers, and distinguishing between Writer's Block and when one is blocked in their writing--there IS a difference, and I'm sharing types of blocks and how to approach them.
