It really depends on what's causing the block. Sometimes I'm just completely uninspired. The desire to write is there, but the creativity is lacking. When that happens, I usually will force myself to write anyway; if nothing else, if I can just get something down on paper that captures the broad sense of where I was trying to go, I can revisit that section later when my brain is in a more creative place and shape it into what I want. But when my writer's block is caused by non-writing things -- life, work, fear of failure, UFOs -- it can be much harder to force my way through it. Sometimes I just have to let the block pass. It always does, eventually.
