Goodreads asked Terri Green:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Terri Green It depends on the reason. If its a confidence issue my writing buddies nudge or shake me out of it. If its a problem with the book I push on and work it out by writing. For some reason trying to do too much structuring in advance induces an attack of creative constipation for me so I don't worry about structure until the second draft. Scrivener is awesome for shifting things around and getting an idea of the story. If its just plain old procrastination.... well let me just say I had to remove solitaire from all my devices. If its life-stuff, sometimes you just have to get that out of the way first. My take away advice is look at the reason behind the block. Different problems need different approaches.
