Goodreads asked L.D. Colter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

L.D. Colter If I lock up because I feel like I'm losing my way or just can't figure out how to move the plot forward, it's likely I've taken a wrong turn recently and that's why things won't mesh. I'll go back and spend time looking at plot elements, character development, etc, and usually find a problem that needs fixing. If it's just one of those low writing momentum periods, 'butt in chair' is the only answer. I'll usually line edit previous work to get going again. A firm, daily wordcount goal helps a lot also.
