Goodreads asked L. James Rice:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

L. James Rice Staring at the white page style writer's block is something I don't suffer. It's getting me in front of the white page that's the trouble. Distraction, life, family, pets, etc. For me, writing is all about rhythm. If I'm in a day to day groove (usually takes a week of solid writing) then I can put down quality words in the middle of anything that isn't life-altering bad. It isn't about any set schedule for me, just a matter of getting a couple of hours in per day.

Oh, I do have one block: Someone standing over my shoulder watching me. Done! Can't type. Forget it.
