Goodreads asked Chris Ord:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Chris Ord I try and write something every day. If I'm not working on a novel or short story then I will write a blog or Facebook post. As long as I'm writing that is the important thing. When I'm working on something longer I try to be very disciplined. I set myself a daily word target and try to stick to it. One of the best bits of advice I read was to concentrate on the story and not the sentence. I think we can be drawn into being overly analytical and trying to write the perfect sentence all the time. You have to try and free yourself from unrealistic expectations and enjoy the process.
