Goodreads asked Ijen Kim:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ijen Kim I take it as a normal part of the process and don't stress about it. Sometimes, ideas simply don't end up going anywhere and I discard them. That might mean many, many hours of work in vain, but it's not really in vain, for it's all part of the broader creative process. I leave things, give them time and wait until it becomes clearer in my head if this is something that can and should be taken further, or if it's time to just let go and move on.
