Goodreads asked Eric B. Ruark:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Eric B. Ruark It all depends on what blocks me. For the most part, I have trouble when my mind has raced ahead of my fingers, so to speak. Once I have the scene completed in my mind, I find it very difficult to stop everything and go through the slow process of taking that completed scene and putting it down on paper (or the computer screen depending upon which media I'm engaged with.) I simply have to force myself.
