Goodreads asked Fred Rutter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Fred Rutter It happens, and I no longer freak out about it, although it still is a bit disconcerting.

I do try to write something anyway, even if it is only a couple of sentences. That way, I find I can sometimes write through the "block", but frequently I find the forced effort does not yield a good result - it looks and reads as forced as it was. Nevertheless, there may be a new kernel of an idea in there to be discovered in my re-reading it later.
