Goodreads asked Sarina Dorie:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sarina Dorie I don't understand writer's block. It is something people talk about, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I have a different problem called: there-isn't-enough-time block. If I can't write because I am too tired, or my brain isn't in the right place, I edit. Or I submit short stories to magazines. Or I do the dreaded website update, which is necessary, but not what I want to do. If I need to plot a novel aka "daydream" I might garden or sew or do a crafting project while my brain is thinking. If I absolutely can't write, it is because I am tired or I am sick with a cold or something along those lines. When that happens, I sleep. But I don't sleep as much as I would like to because I would rather be writing.
