		<description>I don&#039;t bother with word count either, but then again, no one&#039;s been busting down my door for my stuff :)

I&#039;m as guilty of goofing off rather than writing as the next person, but I find that doing the more mundane tasks like laundry or dishes helps me to mentally revise or create scenes.  I&#039;m also fond of using a notebook and pen to get scenes initially roughed out.  If a scene idea pops into my head for later in the story, I write it out in the book.  No blinking, impatient cursor on the screen to worry about.  It&#039;s getting from where I am in the story to those scenes that seem to take the longest for me.  &quot;Luckily&quot;, I have lots of laundry and lots of dishes to do ;)</description>

		<description>I think that&#039;s why I don&#039;t bother with word count. I focus on whether or not I got something done, be it a paragraph written or three chapters edited. It&#039;s too discouraging and frustrating to count words.

As for how to break through a block, I&#039;ve found that those blocks tend to come because something in the scene&#039;s not working. Usually whatever I wrote most recently. Once I rip that out, I&#039;m off and running again.

Good luck!</description>
