Goodreads asked Stuart J. Whitmore:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Stuart J. Whitmore From what I've heard from other writers, I don't think I've ever really experienced what they refer to as writer's block. When I'm writing, the words usually flow faster than I can get them down. Once in awhile I do get stuck, but it's either indecision (trying to choose which pit of despair my characters most deserve as their fate... ha ha) or forgetfulness (knowing I had a plan but not remembering what it was, whether for a specific character, a scene, or a whole book). In either case, I can either give up on the story -- not something I would advise -- or just start writing *something* because I know it will force my hand into deciding what comes next.
