But, generally speaking, I take the view that it is a state of mind, a mood, that is best ignored. Otherwise, it can loop in and around itself, magnify for no particular reason, like a nervous tic or like a mild tinnitus ringing in the ears.

The single best way around writer's block, or rather through it, is to focus on a detail, some small aspect of what you are trying to say, or wish to communicate, and begin there. Describe the smallest facet; use simple words; don't worry if it's not quite right. Then, often without even noticing, we find ourselves back in the flow once more, able to corral our ideas and express then fluently, cogently, and all the rest of it.

Writing aspires to this state of flow, like a river or a wind. Writer's block is often but a rock in its way. Be like the ant and march right over it!(less)

“Even floors have a plan.”
Catherine Sasanov

Gil Scott-Heron
“You will not be able to stay home, brother./You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out./You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,/Skip out for beer during commercials,/Because the revolution will not be televised.”
Gil Scott-Heron

Charlotte Brontë
“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Patrick Rothfuss
“Bones mend. Regret stays with you forever.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Have regrets. They are fuel. On the page they flare into desire.”
Geoff Dyer

Jesse Hanson I appreciate being included on your goodreads friends list, Daniel. I want to wish you the best with Fall Curve, as well as your other works.
Hope you won't mind if I ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but was inspired by events from my life.
All best wishes, jesse
