Yes, writer's block thrives on fear, so the best way to tackle it is to give it a little down-time. Go for a walk, spend time with your friends, watch a film, give your mind a rest. The ideas will begin to flow again in good time.

One way to deal with writer's block is to just accept it as part of life. It always comes to an end so use the time to do other things in life. Self doubt won't help. Accept the inevitable and then when you're writing again we'll all say 'told you so.'  :)

i think I've decided writers block is worse than chlamydia, not that i've had the misfortune of contracting chlamydia but it's got to be worse rite?  anyway in all seriousness writers block, i think, is just another challenge and once your over it like, you end up better than before...

I agree with the end choir here. Chess, not your hero and superheroes are a necessity, not a convenience (my 3 best by far) were all written after serious bouts of writers block

....... it's funny you should say that you know, only last week i was sitting in the boozer thinking the same thing. Then suddenly it dawned on me that i could write a tune about being in the boozer, so i got a bit of paper off the gaffer and started scribbling anything ( i just needed to break the block). When i got home i got the 4 track out and recorded it, this is the result....
