Goodreads asked Brian Asman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Brian Asman Writer's block simply means that you aren't writing. There are as many different reasons for not writing as there are writers, but a frequent one is lack of inspiration. But guess what, you actually don't have to feel inspired to write! Even if you don't feel like it, sit down to write for a few minutes. If you're stuck, have your characters discuss everything that's happened so far, the next beat will often suggest itself. Yes, you will end up deleting everything you've written, but if it puts you back in the headspace to write, it's worth it.
