How do I overcome writer's block?

I'm in the middle of my novel and I'm stuck. How do I keep going?
Whatever you do, don't give up! At this point in your novel, it can feel like it is starting to slow and it's really hard to press on. You might need to take a step back, take your story in a new direction, and maybe get an outside opinion from a friend.
I also recommend you try out a technique outlined in an article called Ninjas in Hindsight.
It's a great way to get through the slump and add some fresh ideas to your story.
