<grim smile> Almost exactly so, and well-known in the comp. sci. end of
the world as well-- architect's/coder's block. There are simply some
days when, for the life of me, I -cannot- translate the user specs or
requirements into anything that looks/feels like it can be coded, let alone
released and maintained. If I get the DFD/ERD/whatever done and sense-checked,
there are other days when I cannot get a line of SQL or PL/SQL to work.
Yes, it happens to anyone that is a creative person, no matter the genre
or medium.

Builder's Block, perhaps?
