Goodreads asked Phil Whitaker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Phil Whitaker It can be really unnerving - you can quite rapidly feel everything's slipped away, and that you're never going to get the current project back on track. It's happened sufficiently frequently to me over the years now that I'm able to look back and remind myself that I always came out the other side. I've developed certain tricks - moving on to a different part of the narrative, or leaving everything for several days to give the subconscious time to work on it.
