Goodreads asked Scott Butler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Scott Butler I dive into a bit of exercise, take my dog Vader for a walk or just grab some fresh air. I have two young daughters so usually find myself short of time. If I'm not being productive, then I find something that is. If I'm just stuck on the story I'm writing and really need to progress with it, then I'll come at it from a different angle. I might write a back story about a central character that I might not include in the book, though the exercise might generate fresh thinking or direction.
