How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sometimes I'll break away for months or years at a time. I currently have 46 works in progress, so that just gives you an idea of how many times I've 'stopped and put it aside', only to be distracted by another book I'm working on.
If I'm trying to get through a particular part I will sometimes take my dog for a walk to get my brain working again. Or I'll look at highlights and notes from other books I've read (one of many reasons I love my kindle) in order to get some refreshing ideas.(less)

She was the inspiration when writing 'The Girl Across the River'.
I strongly believe that people with special needs are under-represented in novels and try to show how differences and personalities blend to make a whole person, not a label. This was especially prevalent when writing this novel.
The focus is not on the fact that Emily has Down Syndrome, but on the fact that Samuel is falling in love with a girl. A girl that he clicks with, a girl that he loves, a girl that he would like to cherish for the rest of his life.
Samuel sees beyond Emily's challenges to the person within.
If only real life were that simple, this would be a better world.(less)
