Goodreads asked C.K. Combs:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C.K. Combs I have multiple tactics, and choose depending on my energy and time available. Sometimes I get up and get active: go for a walk, putter around the house, wander around my yard. I also have some exercises that can help, like 'word pile' where I write down words for a minute or two that relate to the part of my story I'm feeling stuck on. Sometimes that helps unblock me. And other times, if I'm blocked on one part of the story, I'll work on another part. I am not a strictly linear writer.
