Goodreads asked Steven Hildreth Jr.:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Steven Hildreth Jr. I ask myself a couple of questions:

-what plot point am I working towards?

-is there a better way to reach that point?

Think of it as mental parkour. If you can't go straight to it, go around it, above it, or beneath it. Probe from different angles.

If the answer doesn't come to you then, step away from the work for a while. Eventually, the answer will hit you when you least expect it.
