Goodreads asked Eric Jay Dolin:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Eric Jay Dolin I don't get writer's block, if you mean not being able to write at all. What is far more common is getting writer's fatigue for lack of a better word. There are times when the words do not flow as easily, and my writing isn't as good as I want it to be, and know it can be. When that happens, I either switch to research, take a break, or just power through, realizing that eventually I will get back into a groove. Since I am a full-time writer, and this is how I earn my living, I don't have the luxury of not writing for long stretches. Whether or not I feel good, or have inspiration, I have to write. Fortunately, most of the time, I enjoy the writing process, and things go fairly smoothly.
