Goodreads asked C.E. Self:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C.E. Self I move on to something I know for sure. Sometimes it can be several chapters away from where I currently am, and sometimes I skip to the end of the book and write that. I knew exactly how I wanted my book to end. It was all in my head anyway, so when I got writers block I just skipped a bit and let it out. We'll guess what. I wrote that ending and read back over it when I was done. Then I read it again. Then I found out it wasn't really the end after all. I added an epilogue that I hadn't even realized I needed. After that, I went back to the sequential part of the story I had left behind and wrote the next four chapters before I had to stand back and take a look at it again.
