Goodreads asked Judith Post:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Judith Post I've been writing for a long time. When something in a story blocks me, I know I've taken a wrong turn or gone in the wrong direction. So I go backward in the manuscript and skim through pages I've already written, and I trust myself. I know my mind will eventually fix the problem and I can move on. I always know the story's big question and two turning points and the end before I ever start writing, so I have goals to aim for. That helps.
