Goodreads asked Catherine Isaac:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Catherine Isaac Writer’s block is a luxury I can’t afford - that’s the one downside of that exquisite moment when you get to hand in your notice on the day job and become a full-time writer. Strangely though, the threat of not having enough to pay your mortgage still isn’t always enough to get the creative juices flowing, so I have a couple of techniques up my sleeve for those days when I’m feeling less than brilliant. My first line of defence is to go for a long run; there’s something about having a good soundtrack on my headphones, miles of stretching roads ahead and nothing else but my own thoughts for company that really works for me. If I ever break a leg, my career will be on hold.
