Tracy Borgmeyer
Normally, if I have writers block I use two different methods depending on my mood.
One way is to step away from the keyboard and computer screen, grab a Bic pen and spiral notebook, and sit outside with my dog Molly. The physical pen to paper always gets words flowing organically.
The other way - which is more stressful but is effective - is setting a timer and write nonstop without editing my work. When the timer goes off I usually find a nugget of words to work with and edit.
If all else fails, I step away from the piece and give myself space for the back burner in my brain to figure where to take the story.
