Goodreads asked David McElroy:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

David McElroy I've tried many different remedies for writer's block. I've tried taking time off from writing. I've tried getting inspiration from other books, movies, even video games. I've tried taking walks or just being outside, getting some fresh air. In the end, for me, the only thing that really works is just writing through it. Even if that means writing page upon page of absolute rubbish, eventually something starts to click and I break through the blockade in my mind.
