Writer's Block is the evil of all dedicated authors. It keeps from getting that article done, finishing that page, and if you try to force through the block you will ultimately end up making the condition even worse.
What is Writer's Block? It is often described as one's sudden halt in writing, caused by not knowing how to continue their piece of writing. Writer's Block also describes one's inability to even start their project.
To cure Writer's Block, it is essential that you do not try to force the creativity. Get away from whatever you are doing and do something else. Watch television, read a book. Exercising essentially helps the brain think better, so running and jogging will help. For me, whenever I get Writer's Block I simply pop on a book and read.
If you're at a deadline, reading other works can help you come up with your own ideas. Be careful though: there is a fine line between plagiarism and adapting ideas. Copying a suicide scene and changing the names is one thing, but getting the idea that suicide would drive your story forward is another.
The bottom line is, get away from the work. Do something else. Let your brain rest and soon an idea will pop in your head.
