red-pill me on ending writer's block

Imagine contenting yourself with being an erudite scholar instead of creating the works that the scholars of the future are going to study.

James Joyce didn't know Greek and as far as I know he was no expert on mathematics, yet his books will be read alongside the Odyssey in 500 years.
In fact, they already are.

Here is a poem to you:

BALD heads forgetful of their sins,
Old, learned, respectable bald heads
Edit and annotate the lines
That young men, tossing on their beds,
Rhymed out in love’s despair
To flatter beauty’s ignorant ear.
They’ll cough in the ink to the world’s end;
Wear out the carpet with their shoes
Earning respect; have no strange friend;
If they have sinned nobody knows.
Lord, what would they say
Did their Catullus walk that way?

What is your opinion on automatic writing?
