Goodreads asked Travis Heermann:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Travis Heermann Writer's block is a luxury that professional writers can't afford. There are times when the brain has to percolate on a story, so then it's a good idea to go get some exercise or do something else for a while, during those times it often happens the answer to whatever your question comes to you.
Mainly, writers must write. Period. You show up with your butt in the chair, every day. Sometimes what comes out is good, sometimes its not. But you're still making progress, even if you have to go back and edit later.
Everybody has good days, where everything comes together, and bad days, where nothing does. Worrying about writer's block gives it too much power over you.
