Advice from my cover artist: "Go for a long drive, get your head out of the tunnel."Ghostwalker117 wrote:I would just like to know how my fellow authors deal with their block.
Advice from my editor: "Just puke anything out onto the page. You can clean up the mess later."
Unfortunately neither of these worked for me when I had my first writers' block. I had to wait for the movie to start playing in my head again.
Cheers,
Xander.

The advise from your editor is quite good though. Remember using much the same analogy about essays...vomiting on the page...XanderRichards wrote:Advice from my cover artist: "Go for a long drive, get your head out of the tunnel."Ghostwalker117 wrote:I would just like to know how my fellow authors deal with their block.
