I loathe that phrase 'writer's block'. Because when we hit a snag in our writing it is often that we have something else on our mind that needs some attention. I am sometimes out of a book for a days or weeks at time... and feel guilty the entire time--but once I open the ms again--reread the last few pages--I'm right inside the character's head and story again. I think we writer's beat up on ourselves when we find we need a break from the intensity of a story or just have a urge to do something else for a day or week.
RIght. I take care of whatever is distracting my brain and the next time, I hop back on it. The more writing experience I gather, the easier it is pick up the thread again.
