Goodreads asked Steve Shahbazian:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Steve Shahbazian There’s no one right way to deal with writer’s block. Sometimes there is a problem with the writing, which needs to be teased out; other times it’s a mental block, which is much harder to deal with. Sometimes, it’s best to leave a work and come back to it when feeling fresh. Sometimes, it is good to give it to a friend to read or take it to a writing group for an external perspective. Sometimes, there is nothing to do but wait for the muse to return. Then, it's a case of being patient.
