Goodreads asked Aguidon:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Aguidon One can endure and simply continue to write. Sometimes this works and the writing gradually comes back into the flow.
Personally, I need a break every now and then in order to keep the blood flowing, so to speak. I prefer to watch the birds in my garden regularly for example.
But if a writer's block is caused by external elements, occupying the mind with burdensome issues or worries, it is another matter. In that case one can construct a wall to wedge these blocking elements and remain focused on the story.
However, on the long term it is of course better to take time and deal with too distracting and blocking things before one can continue to write with a clear mind.
On the other hand, without darkness, we would not know light and without worries or grief, happiness would not exist. Contrast is an essential aspect in life, especially when it comes to matters like inspiration.
