> Anyhow, I have suffered mental blocks during assigned writing, er, assignments. I can't very well turn this sort of thing in, nor anything like the story I posted a few weeks back or the fantasy epics that I always start and never finish. That leaves me with very little, especially when I get a topic assigned to me.

I don't know if this is how you operate, but, personally, I can only write [what I consider to be] well when it's spur-of-the-moment. Something comes to me, I write it down. I never do as well when I'm prompted. That's why I love English but don't always do so well in it.
