Goodreads asked James Baddock:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

James Baddock I generally 'walk away' from the book and do something else entirely. I find that, eventually, the issues will sort themselves out one way or another, but if they don't, I'll put the whole book on the back burner and look at other ideas. Having said that, I don't spend most of my time writing anyway, so, often, I'll go back to a book maybe months later and the solution to the problem seems blindingly obvious - you can be too close to the book for your own good, sometimes.
