Goodreads asked Paul J. Labonte:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Paul J. Labonte My battle is not with a lack of ideas, but with a lack of discipline. I have too many hobbies and interests, (if speaking as a writer). If I had a block, I think that I would concentrate on other things, until an idea could form without my trying to force it. I find a half-hour walk can really work wonders and allow my mind to center itself. Be in the moment, right? Changing my perspective opens my possibilities.
Spend more time alone (can't stress enough). Read a book. Learn something new, something challenging. Get out of my comfort zones. Put my fears behind me.
That's what I would do.
