Goodreads asked K.G. Powderly Jr.:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

K.G. Powderly Jr. I use the "blocked" time wisely. I often find that having writer's block is not the same as having "editor's block." What I call "light editing" involves reading older copy and making it more readable or punchy or giving it something else it needs more of. Heavy editing is a bit more extensive, but I find that writer's block usually affects only the writing of fresh new copy. At least it affects editing less.
