Christi Whitson
I take a step back and give myself time to process the issue causing the block. It's usually a matter of making a decision about how a certain scene or plot point will unfold. I turn my attention to physical tasks like household chores, walking, driving, etc. (Things I can pretty much do on autopilot.) If I'm still struggling, I go back to my outline or talk to my friends about it.
