Goodreads asked Seana Kelly:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Seana Kelly It depends on why I'm blocked. If I'm not moving forward because something feels wrong, I'll stop and rethink my characters, their motivations, their goals and conflicts, the tone, etc. Once I figure out what's tripping me up, I can edit and continue. If I'm lost in a scene and not sure where to take it, I sometimes look at the scene from another character's perspective—write it that way—and it usually shakes loose whatever was blocking me. Or I call it a day and go read a book :)
