Goodreads asked Spencer Jakab:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Spencer Jakab A blank screen is a terrifying thing, but being a journalist first and an author second helps with writers block. In my day job I face constant deadlines and don't have the luxury of just staring at the screen or baking cookies or whatever. I took the same approach to book writing, breaking it down into dozens of chunks, each with their own deadlines. Sometimes the first words on the screen aren't pretty, but a partially-salvageable mess is better than nothing at all.
