Goodreads asked Milo Shapiro:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Milo Shapiro In writing my two books, "Public Speaking: Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!" and "Public Speaking for TEENS: Get A's, Not Zzzzzz's!" , I first decided upon all the chapter titles -- all the things I knew I wanted to cover. Then, before starting a sentence, I came up with ten points I wanted to cover in each chapter. That took care of all writer's block! Every day, I'd go to the current chapter and bang out the details of 2-3 of the ten points, finishing a chapter every 4-5 days of effort. It left my book in a fun-to-read "top 10" format while propelling me through the writing.
