Goodreads asked Michael Winston:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michael Winston I never had writers block until I got cancer and went through chemo and I think that distracted me for a year or so. Now I'm cured, tho. But I generally avoid writers block by not thinking about it. It is sometimes hard to get going, but you can't let that stop you. My advice is to stop thinking about it and simply sit down and go over what you've already written. You'll start making little corrections here and there and the next thing you know you'll be off and running again, letting that un-explainable creative source loose.
