Goodreads asked K.V. Johansen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

K.V. Johansen Generally, I take getting stuck and unable to write a section as a sign that the story has taken a wrong turn, so I tend to deal with it by backtracking a ways and seeing if it goes better along a new path, as it were, or from a different character's point of view. I think of the progress through writing a book as exploring a wilderness, with some glimpses of distant heights I need to get it to, but lots of unknown along the way. But sometimes writer's block is simply a sign you need more sleep!
