What's the name of the creative slowdown in which your writing's quality slips & you're suddenly unable to compose decent sentences?

Not writer's block; I'm talking about the thing that takes place when you can come up with ideas, but you can no longer compose well written sentences or put your thoughts to page in a cohesive way.

I'm not talking about lack of talent by the way lol.

Do you have any tips for coping?

    It's just a funk. It happens to everyone, not just writers. Try to keep writing as best as you can regardless of quality and weather it out.

    Would just call it a slump. Imagination sometimes has a tough time being translated into words.
