Goodreads asked Kevin Wright:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kevin Wright Part of how I write is to keep the main story going, while also writing these "historical" backgrounds for what's going on, in totally different "voices" and styles. So if I'm struggling with one part, I'll step back, take a deep breath, and write one of the other parts. It really helps to have plotted everything pretty thoroughly before I start writing, so that I can jump around and write chapters out of order, if I have to, since I already know what's going to happen (and, thanks to the wonders of word processing, it's easy to tweak things later on).

It also helps that I have a full-time job elsewhere, so if I get writer's block some day, there are probably enough other things to do to keep me off the streets...
