How do you deal with writer’s block?

Oft…moreI personally feel like true writer's block is an incapability to write (severe cases that rarely come to pass), not just that words aren't coming. Often what is mistaken for writer's block is more like a pause in the creativity. The words can come, I just haven't figured out which ones are right. Say I get stuck. It can be from boredom, or I'm not feeling well, maybe I'm too stressed, or I'm just over-thinking. Like most writers I can allow too many critics in my head. I'll think everything is no good (being polite) and that keeps the words from flowing. Because the words are there so there is no real block. The story too. I just haven't found the connection between this scene and the next in my head. So I just keep puttering along. Even if I'm only getting a few words typed, I'll type something. Because then I have words to edit later on. Maybe I don't know a word I need, or a paragraph. Maybe not even the ending. Often then I write [note - needs ending here] and then I'll keep writing. Or I'll put in a [note - make sure this is accurate]. Anything so that the words keep flowing. If I only achieve 3 words today, I've achieved more than I had yesterday, even if the words are, "enhance the setting/needs more." That's still a story to edit later. Other times I've gone back a few chapters and read what I've written. That too can unleash the beast.

To sum up: I'll read over what I've written from the previous week. I keep puttering along, knowing that eventually the words are going to flow. I don't usually write on weekends so my brain can have a break (One or two days off is more than sufficient, otherwise it may be difficult to get back into the story.) Those 3 always win for me if the creativity pauses and I'm struggling to get from A-C.(less)

Allowing others the chance, like I have when I read, to become someone else, and forget about life for a few minutes. And let's face it, I love to see what my characters are up to. I'm an avid learner of the human mind, why people do the things they do, and it's just interesting to see how my characters will deal with things. (less)
