Goodreads asked Randy Lacey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Randy Lacey I see this question a lot in various forms. I write when I am inspired to. I never try to force it. That's when the 'block' sets in. Some days as soon as I peel myself out of bed I am inspired and before I do anything I write until there is nothing left in the tank, then I walk away. Every so often I will go back to it to see if I 'feel' the inspiration to continue it. Hours, days, and weeks might pass, but I always am re-inspired.
So my advice, write when inspired and don't force it. The more you try to force it the harder it will be to get or be inspired.
