Goodreads asked Alyne Pustanio:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alyne Pustanio Whenever I encounter writer's block, I take a step back and engage myself in some other creative activity that I enjoy but which does not require a tremendous amount of concentration. For instance, I enjoy crafting and adding charm to my home with my creations; although these homespun works will never make a millionaire out of me, simply doing the work of creation helps to unclutter my mind. Gardening, cooking and trying new recipes, "junking" - such activities do not overburden my mind, and bring new ideas and inspiration to the forefront. The simple works of the hands are a great salve for the mind. Try it next time you're staring at that blank computer screen!
