How do you deal with writer’s block?

Then when I wake up, I scold myself for being a slacker and I feel guilty. My husband says the only thing worse than a wife who is writing is one who is not.
Actually, I do four things. I try to figure out at what point I went astray. Maybe I can't come up with a solution to my character's problem. Maybe I've committed to a path that just doesn't feel right. Maybe I've had so much varying input from my critiquers I can't decide what direction to go.
Critiquers are wonderful, especially for brainstorming, but sometimes they muddle your mind. You have to take charge of your own book. I've never heard of a great book that was written by a committee.
After I figure out where I mucked up, the second thing I do is write a synopsis that tells the story the way that feels best to me. I need to make sure that all elements of the story fit together so I don't hit a dead end.
Then in step 3, I write through the blockage. I tell myself they're just words; they can be changed. I put my butt on the chair and keep working the problem. My biggest stumbling block is actually putting my butt on the chair.
After I see my way clear, the fourth thing I do is reward myself with chocolate. It cures most afflictions.(less)

From what I've gleaned from her novels, women don't have to do much except embroider and snag a man. Sounds perfect to me.(less)
