Goodreads asked Matthew Sylvester:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Matthew Sylvester What's that? You don't get plumber's block. You don't get Policeman's block. Why on earth should you get writer's block. Just write. Simple. Even if you don't know what you're writing about when you start, you can at least have the character walking down a street, waking up in a tent high up in the mountains, parachuting from the back of a military aircraft, gouging the eyes out of his enemy. It's simple. Sit down. Shut up. Write.
