Hey Joe,
	I know that after being in the industry so long you've written hundreds
of scripts (A lot of pretty damn good ones, I might add).  I'm
relatively new in the game, I work for an independent comic company and
am working on my fourth comic script.  What I want to know is, when the
muses fly away and bring the dreaded monster of writer's block on you,
how do YOU deal with it?  Like when you know what you want to do in a
scene but for the life of you it never works our right?

You're going to kill me when you hear this...but since I started writing
and selling at 17, I've never, ever had writer's block.  It's finding time
to write it all, and deciding which thing to write, that's always been
hard.  But (not to tempt the universe here), I've never had writer's
block, and can't imagine it.  Even if it ever did hit, I've got so much
outlined and premise'd out in the files I could work off that for
literally *years*.
