Goodreads asked Samuel W. Gailey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Samuel W. Gailey This doesn't happen often for me, but it does occur. Sometimes I've attempted to force a new idea or story, and the results are not good. What I've found the most helpful is to let an idea sit for awhile if I'm hitting the wall. And rather than not write at all, I will pick up another story that I've been working on, and tweak it a little here and there, thereby getting myself back into a creative flow.
