Goodreads asked Robin O:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Robin O I think the worst thing you can do when you have writer's block is to beat yourself up about it. I've found that it's helpful to just take a break from your writing and try to think about the root problem. Think about where the block is really coming from. The problem is probably not that you don't have anything to say.

I also found it very helpful to have dedicated writing days where I set a word count for myself. That way, even if I'm not feeling like writing, if it's Thursday, I know that I have to write 400 words.
