Goodreads asked P.H.T. Bennet:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

P.H.T. Bennet It depends. If it's about a problem in the story, I try drawing, researching, and talking about it, and that usually works. If it stops me from writing altogether, which has happened many times, the best thing to do is just let it go for a little while and enjoy other artists' work. I love looking at paintings and sculpture, and I read constantly. For some reason I've never understood, though, what sets off the biggest flood of new ideas is going to a classical music concert or a ballet. Maybe it's because they are SO different from anything I do. I always try to bring a notebook when I go to one because something about that setting triggers a whole new stream of ideas about my stories.
