Goodreads asked J. Randall Christopher:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

J. Randall Christopher Take time off. It is quite alright to take a break.

Go back often to read what you've written to keep the story fresh in your mind. You will sometimes be inspired when you least expect it. Always keep a notepad with you or even make verbal notes into your phone. Don't let those inspired moments get away from you.

You may even be inspired by a dream. Don't go back to sleep until you write down the thought.
