Goodreads asked Deborah Copaken:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Deborah Copaken I go for a walk or take a shower. They usually work. If that doesn't work, I realize I'm doing internal work for the book that is not making it onto the page, and I don't beat myself up. A lot of writing is staring off into the mid-distance, thinking.
