Goodreads asked James Osborne:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

James Osborne I'm not sure I've ever experienced what some consider 'writers block'. It will be different for everyone. For me, that 'pause' is simply because I do not have anything to say at a particular moment. Once the thoughts gell, then the words begin to flow again. I suspect that tensing up is the worst thing you can do when there is a 'pause' in your writing: go for a walk, set it aside for a few days, do someting entirely different, have a couple of stiff drinks... whatever it takes to relax.
