How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sometimes, I take a break. I decide that I don't need to write what I'm working on. I'll try writing or outlining another idea to take a break. Then when I return to the other material, I may have a fresher eye.

Other times, I decide that I will come up with an answer, and I tell myself this before I go to sleep. Then when I awake, I will have the answer. Sometimes I have to do this for a few days, but the answer always comes.

Sometimes I realize that my story doesn't have legs. It won't work as a novel, or is flawed in some way. I decide that it's not worth pursuing and I abandon it. I don't consider it a failure. I will likely return to the characters or idea in some way in the future. Perhaps one of the characters will appear in a different story of mine, transformed.

Most of all, I try to do different things that take my mind off of the problem, so that I don't dwell on it too much. I exercise, I play the piano, I garden. I try to enjoy myself and life. At times, I became so obsessed with writing that I forgot to enjoy my life. That is a lesson I wished I learned long ago.(less)

You can create a self-contained universe that can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be real. It can be magical, futuristic, historical. It can span time, places, be completely unique or also completely "real". There are no limits as a novelist. You're "God" in a way. No other profession offers such freedom and responsibility. (less)
