I haven't really experienced writer's block during my process to get my novels first drafts. I experience it in the beginning in my process to get it out but the method I have been using is pretty easy and I encourage writers to give it a whirl.
1 Make little notes on creative ideas to tell a story, personal interests in the present time that excite me, Little traits/behaviors you like and/or dislike in myself and people around me. Get creative with them first. People in our lives are great inspiration for fictional characters.
2. Remix those together in your head till it drives you nuts and set a writing date and time that will sit and look at a blank screen for 2-3 hours every day. Whatever time you believe you can free yourself from everything. Just you in your head and a blank screen. No internet either. Take away everything distractive.
3. Sit there every day at the same time in your head, looking at that blank screen. It takes an average of 1 to 2 weeks before it all vomits into a first draft for myself. This is the only time I get writer's block but it's important I go thru it.
Time is a very valuable and respecting it is key for me with writing and wasting it pisses me off creatively somewhere in my head to do something about it.
