Goodreads asked Olly Barrett:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Olly Barrett I've suffered with it a few times, but since I don't know which direction my stories will go, if I think of a small section I definitely want in the book, no matter where it slots into the story, I write that part. This leads to another idea which I write down too. Gradually, you're left with a writing jigsaw which can be pieced together and you fill in the blanks.

I struggled on book 3 - The Vengeance of The Elder - because, for whatever reason, the two main characters couldn't be written in.

Not all the writing makes it in, but the ideas can be kept aside to insert in future stories.
