Goodreads asked Seth Giolle:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Seth Giolle I'm usually working on at least three projects at once, so if one novel isn't working, I try to work it out, but ultimately, I switch to the second book so I can get a healthy break from the first. This way, I avoid writer's block. When even this doesn't work, I brainstorm on paper to clear my ideas. Other times, I completely delete the challenging chapter and start fully fresh. I've been known to talk the issues out, usually with myself, or I doodle some ideas in the most recent writing notebook I'm filling. Another useful tool for me is video gaming. Getting lost in a video game helps me clear my head. When I return to writing, I see things more clearly and am usually over whatever block I came across.
