Writer's Molasses

I am coining this term, Writer's Molasses. It's what I have right now. Personally, I think it's worse than writer's block, mainly because you know what you want to write, you just don't know how to write it. So it ends up taking you an hour just to write two or three sentences and it's so easy to get distracted since it's not like you're coming up with much anyway. At least with writer's block you have no idea what you want to write. If writer's block is wanting cookies, writer's molasses is wanting cookies that you can smell your mom making for the band booster's bake sale and you can't eat any of them, and they're your favorite kind made just how you like them and the smell is so mouthwatering that you'd gladly wade through ten miles of raw sewage (since the smell is strong enough to cross through the stench somehow) to them.
Yeah, I hate this.
