Goodreads asked Jeff Greenwald:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jeff Greenwald You cannot avoid initial writers' block; it's always hard to get started and know that you're going to have to make all the necessary mistakes. But once you do get started, avoiding writers' block is fairly easy. Simply stop your day's writing session in the middle of a sentence, or toward the end of a paragraph -- one that you already know how you're going to finish. That way you can come right back and simply pick up where you left off. It may seem crazy, but once your fingers are moving they'll keep going.
