Goodreads asked L.M. Merrington:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

L.M. Merrington Brute force. For me it's really just a matter of getting my act together and pushing through. I do have a couple of specific techniques I use to encourage myself when I really don't feel like writing - I do 20-minute writing sprints (it's easier to convince myself to write for just 20 minutes, and by the time I've finished one I'm usually on a roll again), or sometimes I step away from the computer and write by hand for a while. I find it's a much more organic process and can help get through the blocks.
