Goodreads asked Harry Youtt:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Harry Youtt I deal with it first by never saying the phrase out loud, never allowing myself to use it to explain away the times I'm not writing. Officially for me, it does not exist. Also I try to keep two projects going simultaneously. That way when my creative energy for one of them wanes, I just shift gears to the other project. I call this "the reciprocating engine of creativity." Each project is a separate cylinder. I am the carburetor.
