I tell the critical part of my brain to take a hike. Once I'm at the keyboard, I dive into the character and see what happens.
For me writer's block used to prevent me from getting to the computer. Once I was there it was fine. That's why routine works well for me, no matter how much I'd like to just toss it out the window.
Writing is the first thing on my calendar for the day. And it's on the calendar every day for five hours, whether I do it or not. Once I've got the writing done, I feel freer to do whatever I want. Mostly, I choose to do all the publishing stuff that's on the list, but it's optional. Writing is the required stuff to do. Makes me feel better to just do it. Put those words on the page.(less)
