I kind of don't believe in writer's block. It's not that I never feel like the words aren't coming, but that it's all in my head. There's nothing blocking me except for myself (it's all very Black Swan). When I feel like I have "writer's block," I acknowledge that I am just making excuses for my own laziness. The only "cure," in my experience, is just to get off my ass and write something. Doesn't matter if it's mediocre, or if it's not what I was planning to write. Just write something and keep writing. I can't just sit around and wait for inspiration to strike, tempting though that may be.
