How do you deal with writer’s block?

Not just so he'd have food in him—snakes can go a while without eating—but so he'd remember the feeling. With writer's block, I just push through it knowing that I can always go back and fix, change, or even remove what I wrote.

If there's an issue of not knowing *what* to write, then I step back and deconstruct the scene I'm struggling with. Why do I need it? Why am I trying to write it? Can I add those elements elsewhere? If I can objectively look at the scene's structure, its tie to the overall plot, and the characters, I can usually "build" the scene intelligently, rather than creatively, and smooth out the edges later.(less)
