Goodreads asked Matt Kaplan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Matt Kaplan I have an intuitive feeling when it is a good time to write. If that feeling is there, regardless of the time of day, I use it and get writing. Sometimes my mind is just not in the right place to write. If I try to force myself when I am not "in the mode" I find that the effort is just a giant waste of time and I get blocked. I cannot fix this. I just work around it by seizing the moment when I have the lucidity to write well.
