Goodreads asked Marco Ocram:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Marco Ocram I always follow Herbert Quarry's golden rule, and write the very next thing that comes into my head- regardless of how nonsensical, inane, cliched (how do you get an acute accent in this dialogue box?), ambiguous, offensive, ungrammatical, misleading, predictable, unpredictable, repetitive, pleonastic (message me if that's not a real word), neologistic (ditto), readerly, writerly, implausible, impenetrable, or otherwise open to criticism it might be. And that's how you become a publishing legend.
