This is a question for all of the playwrights out there. What techniques do you use to get around writer's block?

Barry B Longyear kept a note pad and jotted down idle thoughts as they occured. From these thoughts came his story ideas. In otherwords, he did not try to "Overthink" a story. Instead he allowed his mind to wonder aimlessly and not Think about it.

Like today, here I am at ork, thinking about computers and the like, when suddenly a random conversation gives me an idea for the play I am directing...

Sometimes you can be too focused that you lose sight of the goal.
