Goodreads asked Valerie Davisson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Valerie Davisson So far I haven't experienced any significant writer's block. When I am not sure how to begin, I just start writing. I pick a scene that's in my head. I visualize that character, put them in the scene, then see what they do.

I think we get writers block when we worry too much about being perfect - getting it just right the first time. You may write scenes you'll never use in the finished product, but that's OK - it gets you off the block.
