Goodreads asked Jennifer L. Wright:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jennifer L. Wright I usually take a break and do something else creative that doesn't involve writing. I love to paint and craft and, though I'm not particularly good at either one, I find they give me just enough of a break while still keeping the creative juices flowing. Sometimes, however, if I'm dealing with an extended period of writer's block, I have to force myself just to WRITE. It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be done! I know I can always come back and edit later. But one word leads to another leads to another leads to another, and soon I've written through the blockage.
