Goodreads asked Melissa Cummins:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Melissa Cummins It depends. I preferably like to write everyday. In a perfect world, I would, but I do not try to force my writing. I have also learned that a story has to mean something to me in order for me to really get into it. So, if I'm struggling I take a break. Perhaps the emotion of the scene that I'm currently writing is not something that I'm identifying with easily. If that's the case, I will ask myself what am I identifying with right now and write it down. It may not be part of this story, but perhaps it will be part of another one, or the beginning of a whole new story.
