SFD quote and question

For my reading I read "shitty first drafts", and for my question I was wondering, "If you had to write a first draft for a story or an article, how would you try to overcome writer's block when it hits?".  I also thought this quote was very interesting in the reading, when the author said "We all often feel like we are pulling teeth, even those writers whose prose ends up being the most natural and fluid.  The right words and sentences just do not come pouring out like ticker tape most of the time" (Lamott 2).  This was interesting because it changed my opinion greatly about writers, whom I thought found writing to be very easy, but it turns out they're very similar to the rest of us, and they too struggle with writers block all the time.
