Goodreads asked Wayne Smallman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Wayne Smallman I think writer's block means different things to different people.

Because I write hard science fiction, honing ideas that hinge on known or speculative scientific and technological concepts is, sometimes, a challenge.

Minimising the hand-waving is the part that — at times — drags on, breaks my stride, and soaks up the momentum.

Here, I switch to something else.

At the moment, I have 16 novels on the go at any one time.

I also run a business, so there's much to focus on there.

So I have options.

Or, if the weather is good, I go for a walk, or perhaps if the schedule is correct, a 10k run.
