Goodreads asked J.E. Jack:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

J.E. Jack I'm more or less a pantser, meaning, I write by the seat of my pants. I have a general idea of where I'm going but sometimes I don't and it can be frustrating. If I hadn't created the habit of making myself write at least 500 words a day, writer's block would stop me. But like a muscle, if you keep working through it, eventually, you get stronger when you meet roadblocks in the process. In my stories, I sometimes get through these problems by asking myself or my characters open ended questions and sometimes, the whole story will shift. I don't stress too much about it, I trust that the answer is there and it always is. And again, if it ends up being crap, you can always fix it later in the editing process.
