Goodreads asked Peter Derk:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Peter Derk This has to be the most common question for writers, right?

I think my answer is that if you have writer's block, get some more irons in the fire. If you're blocked on your novel, write a humor blog. Edit a non-fiction piece. Work up a short something you've been thinking about. Take out an index card and write a story on it sometime during the day.
