Goodreads asked Dan Jones:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Dan Jones I have occasionally had writers block, what is a mistake for me is if I put the work away for a while. This can lead to me losing motivation and momentum, so I never finish the work, and if I do it is done so with no motivation.

What I find works best is to listen to music (without lyrics), and to just carry on writing anything, whether it is thoughts or random ideas. It doesn't have to be linked to what I am writing, then when the time is right an idea click in my mind, and I continue to write what I was trying to write before I had writer's block.
