Goodreads asked Penny Goetjen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Penny Goetjen I once heard Dan Brown speak and during the Q& A he was asked the same question. So now I take his advice and just write SOMETHING! He went so far as to say there was no such thing as writer's block. It's just a crutch some writers use. I've found this to be great advice. Even if what you're writing is not up to your standards, don't worry about it. Just get your ideas down. There will be plenty of time for you to edit later. If you don't write anything, there will be nothing to edit!
