Writers' block - a dangerous solution?

Aagh the dreaded writers' block!  I've heard so much about it but rarely experienced it. Usually words flow out of me like, hmmm, how rude can I be here?!  Leaving aside the obvious sewer references, let me be more lyrical and say 'like water from a spring'.  I don't have any trouble writing because I normally like pretty much every thing I write.  Call me undiscerning, but that's the truth!  But right now I'm stuck, not only because I'm sick of editing, but because I'm bored by my own writing.  Maybe I've read it too many times, maybe I've just been doing fiddly things with it for too long.  It feels like the chapter that will never end.

I'm not sure where to go with this except to do what has always worked for me when I reach a boring, difficult point in a piece of writing, and simply plug away at it.  I've considered working on another part of the book until I feel more like editing this part, but I think that's possibly a dangerous solution.  I'm worried that if I only work on chapters when I feel like it, a lot of the book won't get the attention it needs.  Writing isn't always fun, and it seems to me that the successful writers are those who stick with it.  I know with the other long documents I've written, there have been times when I'd rather have watched Coronation Street or Home and Away (not my favourite programmes!) than carry on with them.  But because I needed to earn money, I found ways to keep going.  As I did the work became easier.  So that's probably what I'm going to do here.  And this too shall pass.
