Goodreads asked Katherine Reay:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Katherine Reay This is a tough one... And "butt in chair" is the best answer. If you are blocked, get writing -- even if it how you feel about not writing. Sit in your chair (or stand if you have a desk like mine) and keep going. What you write today may be horrible and you'll delete it at the end of the day, but it may also spark something new. You'll never get to that gem if you don't keep at it.

Now, of course, this assumes you've already taken that walk, cleared your head, had a snack, cleaned your kitchen and even organized your books alphabetical order.

When all else fails, put "butt in chair" and get writing. :)
