Nancy Christie
When I am well and truly stuck, meaning I don't know where to go from where I started or I can't even get started, then I know it's time to walk away. Not forever, just long enough to clear my mind.
I usually do something physical—go for a run, mow the lawn, paint the basement walls (my current favorite)—which releases the tension and frustration.
Then, something usually starts percolating in my mind and before I know it, the writer's block has been broken down into little writer's bits and pieces!
