Goodreads asked Barnabas Piper:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Barnabas Piper Writer's block is almost always a temporary thing. I find it usually has to do with fatigue or a lack of motivation. If it is due to fatigue (and you have to know yourself well-enough to recognize this) I take a break - go read, talk a walk, watch a game. Just rest my brain. If it due to motivation then I write through it, and it is a grind. Often this writing is not worth publishing anywhere, but it's worth it because works through the "block". It's like going for a run even when you don't want to: it might be a crappy workout, but you're glad you did it in the end.
