Goodreads asked Orly Wahba:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Orly Wahba That's a great question! For me, writing is all about being inspired and allowing yourself to connect deeply to what makes you tick. One thing is for certain - you can't force inspiration. If you find yourself sitting in a room staring at a computer with no words and thoughts flowing from you, get out there and experience the world. Oftentimes when we take those breaks inspiration has a way of finding us. Creating a set schedule is important because it brings you structure so long as you know when it's ok to take a break from that structure. Listening to music, playing sports, spending time with family, going for a walk or even watching a movie helped me push through moments of writer's block.
