Elan Mastai
In my personal experience, writer's block is usually about a lack of preparation. When I haven't prepared properly, haven't thought through the ins and outs of a story and, in particular, haven't fixed a terrific ending in place, that's when I run into problems. And usually it's just because I'm eager to start writing, so I begin before I'm ready. I deal with it by stepping back and thinking through the story again, properly this time, from start to finish. When I do that, I find the blocks fall away.
