The idea and plot are there. I would like the story to now spring, full-formed, from my brow, thank you.

I've found MMOs to be an excellent way to avoid actual work. I can recommend a couple if you like.

Well, I've got the 'sans graphics' version, but it tends to be for emergencies only.

GarouMUSH doesn't count. The trick is to let the writing muscles rest by doing something mindless like grinding Nethermine Flayers. Playing chess is also good.

In that case, I'd probably have to move to the Playstation for Lego Star Wars. I don't think my computer can handle a graphic MMO in any reasonable form.

Rock Band would count as well.

Anything to engage the parts of your brain that don't deal with semantics and words and grammar.

Actually, engaging the right side of the brain would probably be most effective, so Tetris or a Rubik's Cube would be best. Or dancing. Dancing would be good.
