Goodreads asked Keith D. Jones:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Keith D. Jones Depends on how you define it. Definition I like is any time you find yourself doing something else when you meant to write is writer's block. The kind I run into is typically exhaustion or day-job stress. That's just a matter of accepting the exhaustion or stress and understanding that time is needed to recharge. If that carries on too long, then it's time to write something. Anything. A few lines. A paragraph. Gibberish. It really doesn't matter. The point is to keep things moving. I've also been known to vary things up as best I could. Write at the computer when that works. Write with a pen when that helps. Write with a different colored pen when necessary. Write with a pencil.
