Good God almighty, me too. I once wrote part of a fight scene, stared at the screen for five days trying to figure out how to do the next bit, then scrapped the whole thing and replaced it with a card game.
A few fight scenes later, I revisited this idea with various Nameless Characters moving along the sidelines of the fight, setting up tables for various games, only to be destroyed by the frustrated antagonist while the heroes were busy fighting the demon minions. This was after someone told me that I wrote good fight scenes, which gave me a serious mental block on doing so, of course, but I have to admit, rereading this the other day (having written it 12 years ago--good grief), I busted a gut laughing.
