R.F. Bright
I don't believe writer's block is a general condition. I get stuck in a certain spot because I've created a problem for which I cannot see a solution. Usually due to not having truly fleshed out the character associated with that problem. And here's where the fix is.
Because I take notes, make extensive outlines, I can skip the spot where I'm stuck in the manuscript and go to the outline a see where I might jump in ahead of the sticking point, and continue. My story is all worked out in the outline. I can start or stop anywhere along the line.
And if that doesn't work, I start to review and edit so as not to lose any time.
