Goodreads asked Ken H. Warner:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ken H. Warner I don't really get writer's block. Ever since finishing my first novel, I'm a dedicated outliner. I do a general outline for the full book first, then go through and outline a chapter at a time. So by the time I'm writing a given scene or chapter, I already know the game plan. On the rare occasion that writer's block does happen, it's because the story wants to evolve in a direction different than I'd anticipated. So that's when I know I need to step back, and adjust the outline!
