I'm curious what sort of blocks other people might have... what set-
ups or modes or story landscapes simply don't work for you on account
of the world does NOT work that way? I get stuck on magic... anyone
get stuck on FTL travel or 95 pound waifs that kick reaver butt?
What *can't* you write about?

I've discovered I can't write from an idea. I had one I wanted to
write about. I created a setting and characters for it. And got
stumped in trying to make decisions about time period, and other
factors. I just couldn't decide between options because too many would
serve the idea. I realized I really do need to start with characters
and setting and see what stories develop.
But that idea is still in the back of my mind, nagging at it. Maybe
someday...
