one way to break through a writer’s block

A block can come from many sources, fear, sickness, breaking of a schedule, outside obligations, even lack of motivation.
Trying to correct the source of the block is even possible as many times the source is unavoidable
Since each scene should have conflict – either internal, where a character is fighting his emotions or fears, and the external where someone is challenging her either physically, mentally or both.
Here is my suggestion. Put two opposing characters into a scene and confine them either physically or through some of the often used confining tools (work, partners in crime, family, secrets or even ex-lovers.)
Now let them have at each other. No matter what the result final you will “see” the conflict, create fiery dialogue and experience proof that you can continue writing.
Using conflict wakes up your characters and raises the stakes in your story.
