Goodreads asked Brian Harvey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Brian Harvey When I'm distracted or bereft of ideas, I console myself with the realization that whatever I write can't be 100% awful. So I write a thousand words, however crappy they are, get up and forget about it. Usually, some of it is salvageable, and I feel like I've kept up part of the deal with my subconscious (which is, "You come up with the stuff, I'll write it down.")
