Goodreads asked Ian Loome:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ian Loome First, I micro plan, breaking down the scene I'm trying to write into a mini-arc in eight stages.

If I'm still struggling, I walk away and do something intellectually passive, to allow my creative side to take over. When I stop trying to force ideas, they come on their own.
