Goodreads asked Steve Robert Gooch:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Steve Robert Gooch Go make a coffee, stare out of the window, make lists, edit the lists, make more coffee, then when I am done prevaricating, mentally beat myself up, and force myself to sit down and write. Write whatever, and then keep writing, until the block is gone. After more coffee, edit what I wrote and carry on. Usually what I wrote is rubbish, so it needs editing. But once I am back into the flow of writing, it seems to carry on flowing.
