Writing Tip: I don't really believe in writer's block. I get stuck, but I tend to think it is because of character flaws. Not the characters in my book, but flaws in me. Procrastination, laziness, distractibility, aversion to work. Anyway, when I do find myself wasting time and not "getting on with it," I close my eyes and watch the scene in my mind as if it were a movie. That usually gets me revved up again.

I so agree with this! I don't really get "blocked"--it's more like I have a hard time getting away from the distractions and getting into the right mindset. Going for a walk can help a lot. And one think I've found that works well is emailing a writing buddy, venting about what I can't figure out. Usually, by the end of the email I've hit on what needs to happen next and am all psyched to get it out!
