Goodreads asked Nils Nisse Visser:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nils Nisse Visser I see a writer's block purely as an inability to get on with the scene I planned to write: either there's no inspiration or what I read back lacks animation, it doesn't convince. At moments like that it's best to accept this. Sometimes it's because there is another future scene which is really fighting for attention and then I write that instead. If that isn't the case I revert to proofing earlier work, more often than not that eventually leads to sudden flashes of inspiration for the scene where I got stuck.
