Take walks. Push through it. Hit the gym. Do something fun and/or interesting. Work on something else until the gears start turning again on whatever was stuck. Also, beer.

Several short stories and the sequel to a novel (first one is pending, but due out pretty soon). I'm also toying with the idea of writing a sequel to the kid horror novella, but I want to see if I can sell this one first.

Don't be afraid to take chances. Don't try to be like anyone else. Your voice is makes you special, what sets you apart.
Also, don't give up. You'll want to, probably several times. Don't. If you want this, it's worth sticking it out.

My latest book, a horror novella for kids (finished, and seeking representation now) was inspired by my son, who asked if I was ever going to write a horror story he could read.
Well, kid, now I have.
