Goodreads asked John MacGregor:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

John MacGregor At this point I have only ever written the one book "False Vacuum: Apocalypse." The truth is, I have never had writer's block. I planned out the whole book ahead of time down to the level of scenes and POV. From there it was only a matter of writing individual scenes. I am taking the same approach to the sequel, which I am currently working on. In my own experience, I found that this completely eliminated the problem. I see writers block as a problem that you run into when you don't know what direction your story is going in. There is nothing wrong with this approach but it can raise these kinds of issues.
