ŷ asked S.J. Higbee:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.J. Higbee I'm very lucky in that I don't suffer with a scarcity of ideas. However sometimes in the middle of writing a book, I will come skidding to a halt. That's normally an indication that I've taken a wrong turn somewhere and the story isn't working, so I have to back up and work out where the narrative arc started heading into a black hole, unpick it and start again.

Like everyone else, there are times when I sit at the screen and nothing comes because I'm too tired/worried/real life is overwhelming - and when that happens I do myself a favour and go and hoover up some Lego or dust the bath...
