99.9999 percent of the time this struggling to get the words out--the taking forever and a day to write very few words-- is the sign of a skill leap. Its like your brain has to make adjustments and settle things in place, then you go back to being able to write.
And writing slower in general is for most of us a sign that we are writing better, not a sign that we suck. Back when I started I could crank out 4-5K a day. It was pure crap, but it was a whole lot of words. Now, a 1250 word day is awesome word count for me, but they are good words.
Take heart. You are not the first and you are not alone. :)
