Goodreads asked Arun Kumar:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Arun Kumar Over time, I've learned that discipline is a vital factor in dealing with writer's block. No matter how talented you are, without discipline, you will get nowhere with your craft. Although writing is a creative indulgence, without discipline one will never be able to complete a book.

So even when I had writer's block, I put my pen on paper every day. Yes, I was not happy with what I was writing but I continued to write and after a few hours, my creative alter ego took pity on me and agreed to work with me. So, keep writing for hours or days if needed until you and your creative-self become amiable.
