I have a writing problem, I think it's commonly reffered to as writers block.

Personally I don't believe in writer's block. I am sure that if you went with pen and paper (or whatever you normally use) sat down and wrote you would be perfectly able to. We just tend to get occupied with other things and our minds will up with thoughts that hinder our creativity.

The thing though, is that we can not always write what we would like to write, say for instance finishing a piece.  Which normally means; that the start, middle or ending of a piece is not right within our heads, and so the best thing to do is to plan it, even or re-plan it, until you know what you have to write.

If planning or re-planning doesn't work try some activities, such as writing ‘what happened to you today’, or ‘what you would like to do tomorrow’. Anything silly works too. Sometimes when we start to write are mind gets into gear and then we can start or work on what we wanted to write.

What I used to do, which may seem or is listen to a piece of music depending on what scene I intended to write, it requires quite an extensive selection of music from many genres but if it help it is worth it. All you need is a little motivation to get into the swing of things again.

hmm, i have selective writers block as applies to this essay ;)
The problem is that i totally love the author im writing about, and so want to go off on tales of her escapades and my pet topics that i just cant focus and sit down and write a straight academic paper.
its coming off more as a friendly gossip than as essay at the moment -.-

I tend to suffer from this too, but my articles are intended to be more scientific. 

I find that when I 'have' to write an article I'll do it when I am not in a creative mood, by which I mean I am not in the mood to write anything concerning anything related to fantasy.

What I tend to do before I write a scientific article, is write up a plan, with points for the introduction, (abstract) points for 3/4 mains points and then concluding points. 
I try and create a plan that is as rigid as possible so that I can't go off on tangents and write waffle that is not related. 

You could try this approach. Plan what you need to write and when the idea of adding something 'too friendly' take a look back at your plan and see if it fits in.  As you write your piece check off each point so you can see how far you have gone, and how much you have left to do.
