Goodreads asked Steve Abbott:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Steve Abbott I take a shower or go for a long motorcycle ride. One's relaxing and the other allows you to clear your head and only concentrate on riding the bike. Which is a real vacation from yourself.

If it's a really persistent block, then I know it's not me, it's the story and I'll go back and work my way through the chapters until I find the piece that won't let me proceed. If that doesn't work, I'll work on other chapters with a note to address the issue later.

The trick is to always be moving forward in some way.
