Goodreads asked Carl England:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Carl England Writer's block? What's that? Oh, you want an honest answer. If I am stumped for the next line to write, I write anyway. Sometimes I write very well when I think I have writer's block. Usually I write junk but it does allow me to get on to the next chapter. I do make certain that I go back and reread the junk every few days. Eventually the junk will resolve itself into a usable chapter. Sometimes some creative editing will repair the junk and sometimes it must be scrapped and replaced by a totally new twist of the plot. My best advice for anyone with writer's block is to write.
