Goodreads asked Rex Long:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rex Long Primarily by taking a break and thinking about where I'm stuck. I usually pace around the house for a good while, just thinking through story direction and dialogue flow. It doesn't always help immediately, but it's great for getting away from a blank screen and letting my mind work.

Sometimes I simply step away from the project and stop thinking about it for a day or so. Occasionally my problem is that I am thinking of something too much, and I've got to let my mind take a break.
