Goodreads asked Sharon Kay Penman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sharon Kay Penman I've never been inflicted with it long-term, fortunately. But if I am having difficulty with a particular scene, I will step back, leave it for a few hours or even a few days if necessary. Usually that does the trick. But if I still am struggling, there is nothing I can do but forge ahead grimly, knowing that sooner or later I'll get through the swamp and back onto solid ground again.
