How do you deal with writer’s block?

My method is the "only the next sentence" - I only force myself to write one next sentence and no more. One sentence is always in the pipeline and sometimes - not always - this only sentence opens the way for the next paragraph or the next page and so on. If not, I just write one sentence and it means I am one sentence closer to the end...

As far as I know it is quite a unique enterprise not only in my mother tongue, Hungarian, but also on international level. Originally it was a trilogy (The way, The truth, The life), but due to some distributor's financial problems the original publisher cancelled the project and though I found a new publisher (as a matter of fact, I got almost offers by two big publishers at the same time) the number of the volumes was reduced to two. Some serious editing was necessary and I have to cut out some chapters that I liked very much. In my novel the chapters are not only about Luther but there are some part depicting other important characters of the age. From these removed chapters I created a short novel, listing five of Luther's early adversaries and I translated it to English as a separate short novel. This is the Luther Five Asides, my first English fiction. Currently I am working on the second part of the Luther novel (in Hungarian), the first part will be published in October 2017, by the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.(less)

Sándor’s Quotes

“I am afraid Luther will not recant, Holy Father,' Cajetan said. 'I looked into his eyes. He would not recant even facing the fire of the stake.'
'I have no problem with the fire of the stake either.' Leo X answered.”
― Alexander Taylor, Luther Five Asides

“What are we going to do now?' Archbishop Albert asked. 'The Fuggers are holding a knife to our throat.'
'They are called the 'Kings of the Whores' for good reason,' said Ulrich, not waiting to be called this time. Albert sighed. 'What they purchase from the Pope, they sell for varying amounts, all paid by the Pope's flock. Moreover, they are supported by God.'
'Against the Church?' Albert raised his eyebrows.
'They house hundreds of poor in Augsburg, practically for free. They are only asked to say three prayers a day for the family of the Fuggers. A Lord's prayer, a Creed and a Hail Mary. So they pay the poor to pray for them. And God answers those prayers. So they can buy even God himself. One more reason to be on good terms with them.'
Albert chuckled despite the bitterness inside.”
― Alexander Taylor, Luther Five Asides
