Goodreads asked R.J. Groves:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

R.J. Groves I lay upside-down off the couch until an idea comes to me... Just kidding. But seriously, I find that I will only get writer's block on one project at a time. I don't want my stories to sound forced, so I won't try to write more on that story until writer's block is gone. Instead, I'll train my focus onto another project. For this reason, I always have a side-project that I'm working on.

Avoiding writer's block is another matter. I'll jot down brief chapter ideas for a few chapter's in advance when I have the creative juices flowing. That way, I won't forget the brilliant ideas that jump into my head when I'm trying to sleep.
