How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jeannie Burt I don't seem to have block, really. It's more like discouragement. I get discouraged a lot. Maybe it's just tired, I don't know. But when that happens…moreI don't seem to have block, really. It's more like discouragement. I get discouraged a lot. Maybe it's just tired, I don't know. But when that happens, the voices go off in my head telling me my writing sucks, my characters are crap and nothing is working. It's about that time I usually try to go away –to the mountains mostly-- to take hikes, stay somewhere that feeds me a good meal, and stare at my navel. I usually truly give up on writing and make peace with the idea I won't ever write again. It's liberating to come to that place, and to think I will never write again.

But I don't know what happens, when I get there to that kind of surrendering, the ideas just start bombarding me, and I'm fresh and eager again. I know this, though: nothing happens if I am simply going through the act of giving up, just so I can get inspired. THAT doesn't work at all. I think our spirits know when we're being real.
