ŷ asked C.Y. Gopinath:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C.Y. Gopinath I actually wait it out. In my case, writer's block usually happens when I am unable to resolve a plot point or story direction in my novel. I find patience very useful. It's a little like requesting a book at a library and then waiting. The librarian potters around inside, you don't know exactly where, and finally emerges with the book you wanted.

It's similar. I think things are being worked out inside when I have writer's block. If I wait, a moment comes when the book resumes itself.
