Goodreads asked Courtney Hunt:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Courtney Hunt Sometimes writer's block is just a sign I need a break. So, I might go for a walk, listen to music, take a nap, or watch a favorite show.

Sometimes, writer's block means that I don't know where to go next. And that can be fixed by switching up my writing routine, such as writing longhand in a journal or taking my trusty MacBook to the nearest coffeeshop.

And sometimes, it's just because my cranky old internal editor got loose during the drafting phase and I think everything I'm writing is dreck and drivel. The only thing for that is to keep on typing until it's not awful any more.
