Goodreads asked Cindy Bonner:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cindy Bonner There are many kinds of writer's block. If you mean feeling stuck you must find out what the cause of that feeling is. If you're in the middle of a project, it could be something in that project isn't working, or feels forced, or maybe you don't have a real handle on a character or on the direction the story has taken. When I have that kind of block I have to sit down and write through it, even if it's in "notes to self," but especially when it involves a lot of rewriting. Rewriting is where you find the answer to most of the problems of writer's block.
