Goodreads asked Eldon Farrell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Eldon Farrell There is possibly nothing worse for a scribe than that feeling of not being able to fill up the empty page! No matter how successful you are (or aren't), for those of us who feel the call to write, writer's block is a certainty at one point or another in our career.

What I've found works on those occasions is music or movies; anything really other than writing. You can't force it and the block is likely caused by insecurity or doubt of your own ability. Taking time away from the empty page staring back at you can invigorate those creative juices and get the words flowing again.
