Goodreads asked Bob Rector:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Bob Rector What works for me is to just start writing. Make words appear, whether they advance the narrative or not. It might be a character study, a description of a setting, a random exchange of dialogue - anything that keeps me in the world I've created and keeps my characters alive in my mind. In the process a spark will inevitably occur that puts me back on the track.
