Goodreads asked Bryan Timothy Mitchell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Bryan Timothy Mitchell I don't really get writer's block. My issue is procrastination. Though it can be a really great tool, I do lean on it too much. As for writer's block, I believe it comes about in various ways. I know some writers may reach a particular point in a story and not know how to get through it. In those cases, I think falling back to earlier chapters to edit and revise can help you discover creative solutions. For those who are simply feeling that their words are monotonous and can't get the right prose, I say just write it as you see it. It doesn't have to be perfect the first time or even the last time. The only other possibility I see being an issue is a lack of inspiration. In this case all you have to do is listen to some music that matches the mood you are hoping to write. It'll definitely draw your creativity out.
