Goodreads asked Mark Elvy:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mark Elvy Badly! Book one and two went really well, then early on in book three I struggled. I left it for a while, then eventually changed a whole chapter and thankfully the story began to flow again. Sometimes when writing you come to a junction, you may turn left and drive a bit, then hit the dreaded writers block, so it might mean reversing back to the junction and take the right hand turn instead
