Goodreads asked Brian Jaeger:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Brian Jaeger I just do something. Walk around, music, mindless searching online. Actually, it's not mindless. I usually look for an article that might help with one of my other stories. I explore and learn something completely unrelated, and then I might even write that story for a while. I write an article. I revise an old poem. I look out the front window of my house and realize my yard will never be the best, but my novel could be, at least better than my non-novel-writing neighbors, and that gets me going again.
