Goodreads asked Ethan Powers:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ethan Powers Just like our mood swings, that is, sometimes we feel happy or sad, when I get stuck, I will press on for another 5 mins or so. If there is no progress, I stop writing and do other things.
There is no point to get worked up if there is no progress at that point in time.
On the other hand, when I notice that I am in the zone, I will continue to write till I am very exhausted.
