How do you deal with writer’s block?

I have trust that creative words and ideas are received when I am ready for them; but I cannot force inspiration, only nurture it. To nurture inspiration I turn to surrendered prayer, time outdoors, enjoying other authors works (good literature) and other creative art forms (music, theatre, art). My book Beach Song was inspired during an unhurried stay at the shore while my daughter was recovering from a major surgery (I was her care taker). During that time I was able to walk the beach, observe, write, create and envision a children's book. This was a surprise to me, as the book I was then working on (and had felt blocked) was an entirely different genre. You never know what will loosen writer's block or inspire words (a trip to the car wash, a walk in nature, delving into my family tree- have all inspired new ideas to write about). I think living life and experiencing it daily in the midst of stress or writers block has been the way for me to discover renewed flow. (less)
