Goodreads asked P.K. Davies:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

P.K. Davies I'm not sure what that is; sometimes, quite often, my mind gets blocked even mid-sentence; trying to find the right word to send me on, or when sub-consciously I know I am not on the right path. I have to leave it there and go on to something else before coming back to it. Story or plotwise it's rather similar. One has to think of it a bit like a game of chess without being clocked; it takes time, don't force it. Go elsewhere, do something physical. It will unravel in one moment of inspiration.
