Goodreads asked Ross Ritchell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ross Ritchell Some doors need to be broken down, others bypassed. Writer's block might be a sign that what you're writing doesn't actually have a place in the story you're attempting; other times it might be a sign that you need to access uncomfortable emotions or realize that something your attempting is gold or fool's gold. A block is an obstacle, obstacles are always opportunities. Keep at it, but be ready to cut and run. Writer's block should act as your unconscious telling you there's a problem that needs to be remedied. Don't quit though, that's the worst 4-letter word.
