How do you deal with writer's block?

In: Academic Writing [Edit categories]

Answer:

Try taking a long bath, taking a break or talk to a friend for a little bit, and maybe some inspiration will come to you.
I would say that if you were having writer's block, that you should try and do other stuff that you like to do - and keep in mind that you want to come up with an idea to write about or some idea that you need to keep your story going on. I do that, and soon enough, it will come to you. :)
Sorry if this wasn't very helpful, though, but it works for me :)

Edit: Or, watch the movie Stranger then fiction. The writer had writers block.
