Goodreads asked Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling I think the term writer's block only applies to creative geniuses, which I am certainly not (if such a thing even exists!). Sure, the words flow more easily sometimes, and that's a form of inspiration. But nothing about "writer's block" prevents the average writer from revising a page, transcribing interviews, fact-checking, rewriting sentences, or organizing a batch of messy ideas into an efficient flow. And that grunt work is what writing is all about.
