Goodreads asked Michael Reed:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michael Reed First off, while it's best for me to maintain a writing schedule of sorts, it’s never been an intense one. I write one night a week without fail, and on those nights I always write at least a few paragraphs. Sometimes, I write a little on weekends. Pressing all the time is too much like a job to me. I have a job already. I also think too much time at a keyboard stifles my imagination. I don’t want this ever to be about just pounding out words and pages. I guess, in a roundabout way, I'm saying I've never experienced full-on writers block, in part, because I don't press for ideas and word counts.
