Goodreads asked Robert Reid:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robert Reid I have only completed one novel so I am no expert but when I got stuck on writing White Light Red Fire it was helpful to have family and a small number of friends who had read the early versions. They were a great source of encouragement to work through the blocks as was input from Chris Newton my editor. Interestingly the first time I have really felt a block is in writing the sequel - I have bits of the story in my head but not the whole thing so in this instance I find I am writing first some of the middle chapters where I know what has to happen and I am hoping the rest will take care of itself.
