I'm a bit sad we never got to hear Connor's thoughts on the French Revolution.

I don't remember if anybody's made this joke before but... I have the inside scoop on Connor's writing process.

@Connor, one page of a novel should take about 20 minutes to write if you already know what you're going to write.
If I were you, I'd be embarrassed at thinking that a five page paper was anything to stress about. By the time you finish college, you're going to have written countless 5-page papers and more.

Whenever I open that MS Word screen in an effort to write any piece of prose, I'm at a loss. I want to write, but the words don't come to me. I'm afraid, to be honest. I'm afraid I wouldn't like what I produce, and that wouldn't enjoy the process. I wish I could "write what I know", but even then, the fear of failure and my self-defeating tendencies get in the way.

Not even a few sentences? Don't worry about that shit. Just write what comes to your mind, do some brainstorming and fix it up later. That's the point of a rough draft.

But a rough draft has to be somewhat presentable, right?

Not unless you're planning on showing it to someone. Try adapting the NaNoWriMo method, and just go forward, without allowing yourself to go back and delete anything.
Are there any books that inspire you to write? Lots of times rereading a certain book can spark a desire to work on a particular project for me.

You're not going to write a Pulitzer prize winner on the first go. Just write something. Doesn't have to be good, doesn't have to be perfect. Just write something. Do a picture prompt from the internet. You make it seem like every thing asked of you is equivalent to the hardest thing you've ever done, Connor. Genuinely, I wonder how you survive day-to-day.
"This bowl of cereal might not turn out to have the perfect balance of milk and cereal. Oh woe is me."
Shit, use a program like what I used for NaNo last year where everytime you complete a sentence, it hides it from you so you effectively work on a book one sentence at a time. Surely you're capable of writing a sentence. I don't remember what it's called, but google it.

You've mentioned short stories before Connor. Maybe you could try this:
Ten page double spaced short story once a week. Kiwis make a list of ideas you can pick from. Results are posted here (and you can ignore shit like "ur grammar blows goats fget") for people to discuss.
It'll be a short thing, no one expects it to be "good" in a technical sense, and you have a captive audience of people who are already fans.

And I'm just saying that you're the only one holding yourself to that ridiculous standard. You're a nobody, @Connor. You're not a famous author. You don't have legions of people interested in your work. The most you have is us and most of us aren't interested in what you write - just the spectacle of your complete inability to do so.
You're the only one who cares. You're also the one who so desperately wants to write something. I'm seeing a connection here.

I actually got a few short story ideas I've been kicking around, but haven't gotten around to.

I got a couple things you can try that might help.
1: Free association. It's like a mix of brainstorming and six degrees of separation. Big part of Freudian psychoanalysis.
2: Smoke some pot. I saw John "the Halloween that doesn't suck" Carpenter at WKU. He recommends it for writer's block.
Let me know how they work.

So don't post what you write.
The fact that you don't seem to realise this is a possibility rather reinforces the idea that you're more into writing as an exercise in social signalling than one in creativity.
