Goodreads asked David Flin:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

David Flin This is probably not the answer people want to hear, but nonetheless, it's true for me.

I don't really get writer's block. Ideas and ways those ideas can be developed come easily, far more than I could ever write in a dozen lifetimes. Getting those ideas formulated into words can be harder, although I've found a good walk gets things flowing if it starts to become tricky.

My problem lies in the being able to sift between good ideas, ideas that would be good if done differently, and ideas that plain aren't going to work. I need less of an unblocker, and more of a filter.
