How do you deal with writer’s block?

I read like my life depends on it. I’m a firm believer than what is in the result is in the cause. You can’t push through (and also, in some cases, avoid) writer's block unless you read willingly and with breadth and depth. When you read, your mind has all sorts of hidden conversations with your soul that you aren’t aware of, yet the fruit of these silent chats shows up in your writing.
2. Don’t get discouraged. Some days you’ll be on fire and write 5000 words (my most productive day was 8400 words), and other days you can’t generate a thought. It happens. Don’t beat yourself up.
3. Usually my most productive method is to think about where I'd like to be five chapters ahead, then leave the project alone for a few days while talking through how to fill in the gap from where I stopped to Point B. Eventually, this process dislodges the writer's block.(less)

What’s in the result must be in the cause. If you aim to be a great writer, you MUST be a voracious reader. Second, write about what you want to write about, not what others want you to write about. Third, while there is no one-size-fits-all system for how to write a book (some are more spontaneous, others follow a more regimented schedule), there is no substitute for perseverance. Write consistently, and when you aren’t writing, be thinking about what you could write. And finally, believe in yourself! Writing is less than you think about the nuts-and-bolts and it’s more than you imagine about what you have inside you from the very beginning.(less)

Quotes by Luke H. Davis (?)

“the question of the meaning of life comes down to three categories: Life has meaning because mine is a life of impact due to others noticing my achievements. (Excellence) Life has meaning because I am here on earth as a capable human being and I am exhilarated by life’s possibilities, whether I am noticed or not. (Existence) Life has meaning because I—whether I make a tangible impact or not, and whether I seem capable or not—am a unique, special part of a Design or Designer. (Essence)”
― Luke H. Davis, Tough Issues, True Hope: A Concise Journey through Christian Ethics
