Goodreads asked J.R. Young:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

J.R. Young I write anyway. Even if it's garbage. I can always go back and edit or delete. "Nothing you read was written; it was re-written." Writer's block can come when you're too demanding of yourself for perfection right out of the gate. Punching through that wall of writer's block by writing anyway, you're telling your brain "it's creativity time whether you like it or not." That's when magic happens.
