Goodreads asked David Filmore:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

David Filmore Other authors are going to hate me for saying this, but I don't think writer's block exists. For me, "writer's block" is a catchall term writers use when their book isn't quite working and they don't know why. The reason your book isn't working is because you don't know your story and characters well enough yet. You solve this by asking yourself a million questions about the world you are creating, and the people who inhabit it. Once you know what you want to say, you'll know how to get there. Draw your map, pick the place you need to go, and then take the most direct (and scenic) road there.
