ŷ asked Sylvia Beckett Davidson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sylvia Beckett Davidson The thing that works for me, especially when working on a laptop/iPad, is to print out the last chapter I was working on. Then I sit down and read through the whole thing imagining I'm doing a reading in a dimly lit bookstore for people eager to know about my story. I have to imagine and imagine hard - why? Once you tap back into your imagination, and edit that one chapter (only spelling and grammar, sentence structure maybe), I'm able to take one step at a time to get back on track.

That won't work for everyone, but I treat the symptoms first and everything else falls away.
