JB Vill asked Brian Staveley:

How do you handle writers block? Skip around? Assess what is happening so far and what is hard to hammer out? Go back to the drawing board?

Brian Staveley I usually move between different POV characters. If I'm stuck on Valyn, I move to Gwenna. If I can't write Gwenna, I move to Kaden. Sometimes I also switch the way I write--move from typing to longhand. Or I try to talk it through with someone; my wife, a friend, my agent. But I always keep writing, even if I think the stuff I'm writing is total shit.
