Goodreads asked R.J. Benson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

R.J. Benson I dealt with writers block for many years trying to get Fallen Virtue written. I spent forever writing the first few chapters, getting nowhere. It wasn't until I finally decided to create an outline that I was able to finish the whole book within a couple months. I used that same method with my second. Its the process that works for me. Writer's Block always shows up when I don't have an outline. How I envy "pantser" writers...
