How do you deal with writer’s block?

So, writer's block is a term I actually abhor. It's the thing that happens when there is no idea at the moment. And sitting in front of the computer screen with nothing happening is frustrating, but as soon as I start to think of it as a block, it gets worse. I tend to think of it as a lull, a nothing, as opposed to a force working against me.

That said.

The first thing to do when staring into nothing is to leave the screen for a moment. Beating your head into the glow-plate is going to do noone any good. So I don't do it.

Instead, go somewhere else. Don't DO something else, don't distract yourself from the writing. But find a place that's similar to the setting your characters face, or at least can be imagined that way. Then be your character. Look around. What's happening? What challenges do you face? How can you overcome them?

By going out into the world and becoming your characters, you'll find that the story starts to flow naturally. Everything that happens does so for a reason, and everything happens naturally. So don't stop thinking your book, but think it in a different spot. A better spot. A spot where the terrain itself gives you that spark of inspiration you need.(less)
