wouldn't it perhaps be more effective - rather than banging our heads against the walls - to use those blocks for building with in the creative process...

Yes oh yes, what some refer to block especially myself when I had little knowledge about the block and the opportunity it brings for creativity. Some refer to the inability to write their desired article as block, but with the knowledge acquired through the first post that brought about the dialogue had made me actually found a good use for my block instead of being frustrated.
This knowledge about the creativity in block had gotten me to do some amazing things I never had the plan for and these are evident on my blog but only those with the knowledge of it could tell. Thanks for more enlightenment
