Goodreads asked Scott Baron:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Scott Baron In the case of creating short stories, I'll either pick a random thought or prior idea from my notes and just start writing about it (which has had some really wonderful outcomes). More often than not, that kicks things into gear.

If it's a longer work I am revisiting, I'll try to jump in and edit sections I know need work. Soon enough, the writing bug usually bites and I can move on to new scenes and material.

Of course some days you simply know it isn't working no matter what you try. I just accept when those days hit and instead try to go out and get some fresh air.
