Goodreads asked Céleste Perrino-Walker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Céleste Perrino-Walker The best way I've found to deal with writer's block is to go for a walk. I think getting some oxygen to the brain is always a good thing. I often review a tricky place in my writing while I'm walking and brainstorm possible outcomes or scenarios. Usually, by the time I'm back home, I've worked out what to do. If I'm being really smart, I'll bring a notebook with me so I can jot things down because I'm one of those writers who has to capture the writing as it forms in my head. Otherwise it's gone, and I can't get it back. The other thing that often works with writer's block is to go live life for awhile. If you want to write, you've got to fill the well.
