Goodreads asked Trayner Bane:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Trayner Bane I haven’t had to deal with writer’s block since I don’t have deadlines. I associate writer’s block with being under a time constraint since I don’t “have to” write. Having said that, sometimes I just don’t feel like writing despite having a creative bug gnawing at me. In situations like this I do something else writing-related. For instance, I’ll think about plot, areas of the Lands of Windhollows (terrain, fauna, etc.), what a certain object’s role is in the series (the stone given to Billy’s father), and anything else that isn’t “writing.” You’d be surprised how productive you can become when you just don’t think about writing.
