Goodreads asked Matthew O'Neil:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Matthew O'Neil I'll typically take a break from writing if I do. Writer's block, for me, is a signal that I'm tapped out for content and my thinking isn't where I want it to be. I find that if I take a day away from the writing and focus on something else (watching a movie, playing with my children, cooking a meal, etc.), then I can return to the product with fresh eyes, a fresh mind, and perhaps a new perspective to approach the material.
