Goodreads asked Marlene Pardo Pellicer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Marlene Pardo Pellicer Depending on my deadlines, if I have plenty of time, I'll take off 1 or 2 days and engage in something that has nothing to do with writing or the subject matter, preferably outdoors. This way I won't be seeing the desk I work from reminding me that I have a block.

If I have less time, I know that the human brain works in 55-minute segments, and it's around this time we hit saturation point. So I get up and do something else for at least 30 minutes.
