Goodreads asked Sherri A. Wingler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sherri A. Wingler Writer's block usually happens when I've taken a wrong turn in the plot, or I try to make myself write something that I don't want to. To deal with it, I usually go back to my plotting board and start working on a different part of the story. That sounds strange, I know, but it frees up my subconscious to work on the problem that originally caused the block. Some scenes may have to be cut. It's harsh, but sometimes it helps. Eventually, all pieces of the story come together like a giant puzzle. If all else fails, something can always be blown up!
