Honestly, I can't imagine having writer's block! My problems is too many ideas and not enough time.
I do, however experience those times in the middle of a book or project when I can't figure out how to get myself out of a corner I've written myself into. That's frustrating. I usually deal with this by procrastinating, which does often help, because when I come back to a project I'm viewing it with a fresh perspective. But sometimes, I just have to force myself to focus on nothing but the problem, squirreling myself away in my studio or cottage until I have the answer. That's tough. (less)
Joy L. Kieffer Never being lonely. All those wonderful ideas and characters are there with you, wherever you go.

“Someone asked a concert violinist in New York’s Carnegie Hall how she became so skilled. She said that it was by “planned neglect.” She planned to neglect everything that was not related to her goal.”
