Thankfully, I’ve never really experienced writers block and I think there are a few things I do which dodge it. Most important, I keep the bar very low when I have a blank page to fill. I also focus on structure and goals, and imagine what I want to see as a reader (not the author). The writing seems to flow from there. Sometimes I just back off and handwrite ideas so they form sufficiently well first. I call all of this discovery, but others might experience it as writer’s block. Once I have a first draft, the snowball’s usually downhill from there.
How do you deal with writer’s block?
