Goodreads asked S.A. Klopfenstein:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.A. Klopfenstein I know it is simplistic, but eventually, as Stephen King says, I have to sit my butt in the chair and write, and there is no way around it. Sometimes I just have to slog through a tough scene, even if I don’t like the outcome, and get past it, and then go back later and fix it.

That being said, sometimes I do need a break from my story world, so I can come back to it with fresh eyes, and sometimes that is exactly what my stories need. I let myself take a break sometimes, and I play around with other ideas. But I really try not to break the habit of writing everyday.
