My favorite thing is to experience a readers reaction as they are reading my work. I like to share the moment/elation/triumph or heartbreak of my work with others.

I have developed a few methods of dealing with writers block. My response depends on the type of difficulty I am having.
Sometimes I struggle to write a particular scene but ideas beyond it are readily coming to mind. When this happens I will often put together a paragraph in brackets as to what I am looking to achieve and then move beyond it. Often this allows me to use portions of the novel later on to shape the earlier narrative I was struggling with.
Other times I will just relax and try to put myself in my characters shoes and experience the world from their perspective.
Lastly music. It always helps to inspire me when I am thinking / struggling to write.
