Goodreads asked Bryan Pentelow:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Bryan Pentelow I haven't suffered writers block as such yet. I have been beset by indecision as to which way a storyline should go. When this has occurred I have sketched out the possible routes for thee story to see which one gives a more interesting route then follow that one. This can lead to having to go back through previous chapters to aline the back story with the new direction. I hate this as I am an impatient writer and am always in a hurry to keep the story moving but it is a necessary chore otherwise contradictions arise or a character is short of information or missing a skill set. As a last resort I write something entirely different and always try to have at least two projects running consecutively.
