Goodreads asked Ruth Horowitz:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ruth Horowitz I pretend that I'm not writing. If I don't know how to proceed with a scene, I'll open a new document and start typing something like, "I have no idea where to go with this scene. Maybe XX should happen next. And if that happened, maybe it would lead to YY. And that scene might involve ZZ." I type as fast as I can, putting down whatever comes to mind, and usually (but not always), I end up tricking myself into writing.
