How do you deal with writer’s block?

You can, however, just write; write anything. get words down. Sometimes random or unrelated writing evolves into the very thing you couldn't write in the first place.

My biggest writer's block was with The Serpent Calls; it was too big, too complex, too full of ideas and no set goal. I couldn't correlate everything, until i finally realised as the genius I am that an Excel Spreadsheet would allow me to cross reference everything (Since I work in IT, there was no excuse to not see this a long time before).

Now I use Scrivener, a fantastic tool that has replaced Word utterly; if you can't write end to end, change your style. Write a scene. Work on another story. Work around it. Inspiration invariably comes in one way or another.

Scrivener makes all this easy, and helps work past blocks, but nothing can supplant just writing, thinking, and working around it. focusing on it merely highlights a problem, whereas working around it lets it go. (less)
