Goodreads asked Jim Ody:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jim Ody I honestly have never suffered from writer's block. Sometimes I find myself slugging through a scene that is neither thrilling, nor amusing, but these are important to keep the book flowing, so I push on. I think that if I ever did experience this then I would just start writing something else. I am confidant that my stories eventually write themselves.

I am used to suddenly having a spare hour so have to write then, so I cannot afford writers block. I have to have the ability to turn on and off my muse like a switch. Turning on is never an issue, but there will be times when I will have to drag myself away from the keyboard in order to get some sleep before morning!
