Goodreads asked Greg Archer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Greg Archer I guess I'm lucky because I write about life. Life doesn't stop.

There is endless content, and I guess I've been lucky to have had an interesting life, full of difficulties, hardships, successes, failures, moments of tremendous joy, and devastation.

I'm also a thinker, and I like to look at things objectively. This means I'm often faced with the realization of how stupid and pointless so many things are. So many things people do. So many things people ruin, for themselves and for others.

My biggest challenge is making a subject interesting. Sometimes it speaks for itself, sometimes you need an angle. If I'm stuck, I just give it time. Maybe an idea will come to me, maybe I'll get hurt or be in a great place and be able to look at it from a new place and find an angle that fits from there.
