Goodreads asked Michael Varga:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michael Varga When I get stumped writing a scene and can't figure out what the characters should do, I let my imagination go and consider the most outrageous act a character might perform. I think about the implications of that act, and gradually it becomes clear how the character should act: something usually less than that most outrageous act, but still something I might not have come up with if I merely considered "conventional" actions by the character.
