Seek peer review. I recommend critters.org. Every other writer seems to say "write write write" as advice, not me. You already wrote some stuff and if you keep just writing you're writing in a vacuum and will most likely produce the same level of writing. Seek peer review. Look at their stuff critically while they look at your stuff critically. It's important.

Text editor. Seriously... the block is just a matter of something you're thinking of writing not gelling with what you've already written. So I talk to myself in text editor, about how I feel about the previous scenes, how I feel about the upcoming scenes, what I like, what I don't and eventually the problem surfaces.
