Goodreads asked Doc Coleman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Doc Coleman There are all different kinds of writer's block, from that feeling when you stare at a blank page and don't know what to write about, to what happens when you sit down to write more on a story, but you don't know where the story goes next.

When I've got a story in progress, I go back and read the past few chapters, immersing myself in the story, and that usually gets me back into the swing of things.

Slightly harder to deal with is that blank page. There is so much potential in a blank page it can be hard to know where to take it. Once you know the answer, the solutions is obvious: Write anything. Really, anything. Don't worry about making it great prose. Odds are you're just going to throw it away, but words aren't a limited commodity. Write all you want, you'll make more. If you're stumped for something, write a diary entry. After a while, you'll find the ideas are flowing again, and you can shift gears to a new story.

Another way to deal with writer's block is to stockpile ideas when the inspiration is striking. It is actually pretty easy to have a bunch of ideas ready to be written at any time.
