Goodreads asked Laura L. Walker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Laura L. Walker I step back and take a break until inspiration hits again, as it inevitably does. I will mull the scenario around in my head for days or, sometimes, even weeks before a new idea forms, showing me possibilities I had not previously considered.

When I am completely stumped, I grab a pen and paper and simply brainstorm. The classic web that my teachers taught in high school is my go-to method for this approach. When you see scenarios and the consequential actions or characters that are affected by such actions on paper, it becomes clear which direction you want to take.
