Goodreads asked Emi Miller:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Emi Miller One thing I do is to schedule a time every day as my writing time. If I am stuck, I re-read a piece that was previously written. Then several things often happen: First, of course it is not 'perfect' and thus needs at least a tweak here and there. Yet while working on it often what is to come 'pops in', and then I can move ahead. So for me the best practice is having a scheduled time, and sitting down each day at that time. In that I follow the words of William Faulkner who said, “I only write when I am inspired. Fortunately I am inspired at 9 o'clock every morning.”
