How do you deal with writer’s block?

If something doesn't come it is, what I call writers' barrier and I bulldoze it over and over until I get through. Seriously, I have amazing faith in my subconscious. I trust it to come through with solutions to deep problems in my plot/character etc. and it always does. Not at first. Sometimes I've got to keep hammering and hammering away at it. Right now I'm trying to take out the multiple points of view that I made the mistake of writing in and I HAVE to bring it down to one or two points of view. Not easy after the whole book is written:( But I'm in hammering mode now. :0) Also, there is no such thing as now being able to think about something to write. You just sit down with fingers on keyboard or pen and paper and begin to moan to yourself about why you can't think of anything to write and the pen/keyboard takes off....(less)
