Writer's block is just an excuse to stop working. I try to stubbornly keep writing, as uninteresting as that sounds. My thinking is that the first draft doesn't have to be brilliant, it just has to be finished! The really creative work, for me at least, lies in revising and rewriting awkward first drafts.
