I usually keep 3 projects going at a time. When I hit a roadblock on one book, I just switch to the next. By the time I get back to the first book I will have had the time to work out the problem that hung me up.
For me, writer's block is usually caused by a critical decision that can alter the course of the story. I have to let it brew in the back of my mind until I have worked out all possible outcomes of the decision. I really hate it when I take a wrong turn and have to go back and scrub pages and pages of work. Writing is fun, but editing is real work.
