Goodreads asked G.L. Morrison:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

G.L. Morrison Suffer. Horrendously suffer. Although to be fair to my writer's blocks (of which I have many) they are usually not "can't write" as much as "can't write about that". I would say that writer's block for me is most often a subconscious protest. My brain says "but I had a really good idea about ____ and you want to go back to that novel I've reread so much I hate it. Ack why do you make writing such hard work?!"

So perhaps like me, you don't have writer's block. Perhaps you have writer's STRIKE. Maybe you need to sit down at the negotiating table with your creative side. Be prepared to listen.
