Goodreads asked Chris Paynter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Chris Paynter This is a good question because I've had times where it's been difficult to be inspired to write. Sometimes life events can make it difficult to focus. What I've found when these times crop up is to write something each day... it can be ONE sentence. And if that's all I can do for the day, give myself praise for that one sentence. Then the next day, try again. Eventually, the one sentence becomes a paragraph... becomes a page... becomes a chapter... And before I know it, I have a completed first draft.
