Goodreads asked Ron McGaw:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ron McGaw I've never found writer's block to be a real issue. What does happen, though, is writer's avalanche. That is, there often comes a point, usually about 150 pages into a project, where I know what I want to say and where the story is going, but the ideas are bouncing around and are unorganized. The cure for this is to find a week without distractions (taking a 7 day cruise works very nicely) to sit and work through the outline of the story, reorganize the story elements, and work out a plan for how to finish the book.
