Goodreads asked Sharon Linnéa:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sharon Linnéa What we call writer's block is often the normal resistance that comes whenever we try to do something creative. (In fact, Steven Pressfield posits that Resistance crops up whenever we try to do something that would make us a better person, or take us to the next level.) I do think it's true that our own subconscious often says, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!" when we're ready to write.

The only answer, usually, is to figure out where the resistance is coming from, acknowledge that it's there, and work through it. Simply refuse to be stymied by it.

Break down what you're writing into manageable pieces and get on with it. You can come back and make it breathtakingly brilliant later.

As my father often says, "A professional writer is someone who writes even when she doesn't feel like it."

But we've all been there, believe me! And we're rooting you on.
