I am a crappy writer.

I won't deny it.

But I can paint a picture with words.

The act of writing itself is important when you're stuck. What you might try is to log into your favorite website and engage in conversation there...Oh...uh...yeah...

Or you can do what I do and simply put one word after another in a sort of free association thingy wherein the kitten who got trapped in the toilet managed to bleat plaitively enough for its voice to be heard by an itinerant tinker whose heart echoed its distress. Carefully he climbed up the trellis and stepped through the open window. Then the homeowner shot him and went back to bed. The kitten drowned.

I wouldn't try sending that one to an agent in a query letter...
