Goodreads asked Jimmy Thomson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jimmy Thomson Never really suffered it but when I get wheelspin in a story, I just go and write something completely different and then come back to it. Robert McKee, the author of the screenwriting bible 'Story', recommends consciously thinking about the issue that is blocking you before you go to sleep. Often, the first thought you have the next day will be the answer to your problem. Gym and cycling also help to work out tangled storylines.
