Goodreads asked S.R. Jenkins:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.R. Jenkins I take a break. Make a cup of tea and a snack. Put on some music that feels right for the story I am trying to tell and make myself do it. One thing I have learned and am really working on is the fact that it is much easier to rewrite or cut sections that aren't working than it is to get the story on the page. If I can just fight my way through to the next beat, I can hit a stride.

Any words can be rewritten. It doesn't have to be perfect in the first draft despite what your brain may be telling you. Just keep going and keep hydrated.
