Goodreads asked M.A. Corliss:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

M.A. Corliss Honest answer, I walk away from what I am working on and do other things. I once read that Stephen King used to force himself to write at least 2 hours every night. But, I have also read that he knowingly releases books that he personally doesn't like. Whether this is true or not, who am I to say, the point is that you can't force it. An idea takes time to develop, and if after a while you are still blocked trying going back to before you were stuck. I have erased entire pages to get back to where I was able to move ahead with a story.
