Goodreads asked Robert K. Sutton:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robert K. Sutton I'm the type of person who can perservere. There have been times when I've been stuck with a section of what I'm working on, but I can move on to something else. My problem is that often I know what I want to say, but am not sure how to say it, which is a little different, but not entirely different than writer's block. When I'm in that situation, I set my computer aside, get a writing pad, and just start writing long-hand. Sometimes I might mess up 10 pages to get one paragraph where I want it.
