Goodreads asked Rob Spence:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rob Spence This is a very recent discovery, and hopefully one that continues to hold true, but I've found that drawing out mind maps and writing short stories has helped me conquer even the worst cases of writer's block. Though they're often centered around whatever I'm currently writing about and blocked on, that's not always the case. I think the mind maps trick my brain into thinking I'm drawing, allowing everything to flow out again. The short stories have also had the occasional neat side effect of additional world building and the creation of new characters.
