It's easy to dismiss writer's block but for a lot of writers it's real; sometimes the drive and energy to write disappears. It's happened to me. I can't explain why, but I have a solution from one of my other passions: running.
One of the best ways to motivate yourself to get out of bed at an uncivilised hour, put on your kit and go for a run in the bitter cold? Your running buddy. You know s/he will be waiting for you so you better do it!
The same applies to writing. If you're experiencing writer's block, find a writing buddy: someone who you don't want to let down; someone who'll challenge you; someone who'll cheer you across the line. It might just do the trick.
