Goodreads asked Pete Nunweiler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Pete Nunweiler When I've gotten writer's block, I do one of three things. Sometimes, I just leave it alone and don't even try for a while until something comes to me. When it does, it's like a light being turned on and I can sit and write for hours. Other times, I copy the last paragraph that I like to a new document and start writing whatever comes to mind. When I run out of words to write again, I create a page break and start writing from scratch. I do a new page so that I'm not influenced by what I just wrote. This helps my creative thinking and most of the time, one of the series of writing excites me. When that happens, I copy the version that I like to my original document and keep on going. The third thing I've tried is starting an entirely new document and start writing a different chapter. All of these methods can be used to keep the process going.
