As I discuss in "Fire Up Your Writing Brain," writer's block is a mental construct that doesn't actually exist. If you lose momentum and find it hard to jumpstart your writing energy, there are concrete things you can do, such as go to a movie, go to an art museum, journal about the challenge that has you stymied, draw a sketch of a flower. In other words, do something creative that isn't writing and while doing so allow your mind to wander. Oftentimes you'll return to writing with vigor.
