How do you deal with writer’s block?

Once I get started, that often opens things up for me, gets the energy flowing. Then I can segue over to the project I've been writing on. Other times I do the same thing with "scenes" that happen in my daily life. I go home and try to capture what happened. Then that often morphs into what I would have liked to have happened, or what might happen next, or what the backstory was that created that event. Once I'm rolling, I'm good to go. Also, I remind myself that I can edit a crappy draft, but if nothing is on the page, I have no where to go. So get something down, sweetie! (less)
