I don't know if it is related or not, but I find my ability to use pens and pencils has greatly diminished since I started to use the keyboard. My handwriting was never great but over the years it has dropped to a level that is best described as illegible.
I can type about as fast as I think, a speed that would be unattainable using a regular writing instrument based on re-creating memorized shapes using fine motor control. Maybe the slow-down that comes with using a 'real' pen or pencil for writing would give you the right frame of mind to unlock your inspiration.
The short version: try writing in longhand, see if that helps!
I'll give longhand a try :) It seems like a good idea.
Unfortunately, I've tried typing before. To give you an example, the question that I've just written took me about an hour to think and type through, while in the past something of that same length would have taken maybe about half an hour.
