Goodreads asked Stacy Willingham:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Stacy Willingham When I'm struggling with writer's block, I usually force myself to stand up from my computer and take a walk with my dog. Even if I try to get my mind off of the book, I inevitably spend the entire time thinking about whatever problem I'm trying to work through, and by the time I make it back home, I've had some kind of lightbulb moment... or, at the very least, a general idea of how to move forward. I also find inspiration reading the words of authors I admire. Reading a chapter of anything Gillian Flynn or Emma Cline's "The Girls" usually does the trick. If all else fails, I'll pour myself a glass a wine and try again tomorrow.
