Goodreads asked Robert S. Turner:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robert S. Turner I'm not sure writer's block is really a thing. If your job demands that you write, writer's block is a luxury you can't afford. If you don't write, you don't get paid. Or you get fired. So I guess what you have to do is convince yourself that writing is your job, and let fear be your motivator. You can also diversify. If you're trying to write something and nothing is coming, work on something else for a while—a different project, a different genre, whatever. There may be water in another well.

Just kidding about the fear part.
