Goodreads asked Michael Reed:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michael Reed It doesn't exist, just like the bicycle puncture fairy doesn't exist. If I keep telling myself that it must be true! Seriously, when you're a freelancer working towards deadline, it can't exist. Normally, when I'm moving through treacle, I use a technique of whacking down any old rubbish. The next day, I tend to find that 50% of the time it was actually fine, and the other 50% of the time it's repairable. I'd much rather have a block of text that needs improvement rather than a blank screen.
