Goodreads asked Alexander Ferrick:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alexander Ferrick I don't have any one cure for writer's block. Sometimes, I will start working on a different project and come back to the one I'm struggling with later. Other times I just like to start pontificating, making stuff up off the cuff that has nothing to do with my story, and then see if I can hitch it up to the book I'm working on. Those passages usually turn into monologues by characters, and they often help give birth to the scene in which they take place.
