Goodreads asked Kevin O'Brien:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kevin O'Brien I work from a detailed outline. So I rarely have writer's block. If I do, it's usually a sign that I'm not excited about the way I've planned the next scene. So--I go back and re-read the last few scenes. I write down what everyone is thinking/wanting at this point in the book--and then rethink the possibilities for the next scene. I'll write down all the options and pick one. If that doesn't work, I call Dr. Chardonnay.
