Getting over "writers block"?

[Sensualdreamer]

I'm fairly new on the Lit scene regarding writing, and I've had issues w/ writer's block for well over a week.

For those who write, how do you get over it?! I know how I want the story to end...and I'm close to where it could end...but so far I'm stuck.

Any tips?

Get your Tarot Deck and make a lay of your choice. Interpret in the context of your story. Write it.

Alternatively...

Sit down at your keyboard and write your heart out, without concern for character, plot, or anything literary at all. Read what you have written. Go for a walk and think about it. Decide it's all crap, walk in to the first bar you come across and get drunk. Then walk down to the pier and consider jumping in to end your miserable life as a failed writer. Realize that you have a future in spite of your story. Walk through the red light district and bring home the first street walker who approaches you. In the morning, look at your story again, and try to decide which was better: the story or your previous evening. Then do whatever you feel like doing.

Writers block is proof that your fund of information is empty and youre clueless as to where to go next.

My solution is to devour new information to add to the kettle.

I don't get (haven't gotten) writer's block--only frequent blocking from writing by other aspects of life. If I had it, either in general or on a specific piece, I'm pretty sure I'd just stop trying and go do something else (there are lots of choices) until my brain had gotten over whatever it was bothered by in what I was trying to do and worked out on its own how to proceed. Unless you signed a contract to write some by some deadline, writing isn't a requirment in life. If it's not coming, go do something else until it returns--or doesn't.
