Seek discipline and find your liberty.

Read. Read. Read.
Just don’t read one type of book.
Read different books by various authors
so that you develop different styles.
R. L. Stine,
Author Goosebumps series
I have a cheat-sheet for each one of my characters about their personality, the way they look, etc. So there is no possible way that I could have writer’s block.

Develop your characters. If you fake it readers will notice. If you mix them up, readers will notice. Readers don’t miss much, they notice shifts midstream in character personalities. If you know who your character is inside and out, chances are you are going to know what they will do and as R. L. Stine believes, perhaps you’ll avoid writer’s block. If not, at least your characters will be well developed.
