Goodreads asked T.R. Neff:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

T.R. Neff I don't generally get a total writer's block, but sometimes I throw my hands up because I can't figure out where a story is going. Or I want to make change A and realize that B, C, and/or D can't happen. When I'm stuck, I generally switch to a different story, maybe a small project that may/may not see the light of day and add to or revise it. Because I feel incredibly guilty if I don't write or revise anything during the day, I work on something. Usually a day or two is enough for the solution to pop into my head and then I can go get the mechanics of the scenes re-worked.
