Goodreads asked Dawn Bates:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Dawn Bates It depends on where I am, but normally I save the work I've done, turn on some hard house music and dance, or I go to the beach to swim, play or dive.

If that hasn't cleared the connection to my Conscious Unconscious Creation Process then I revisit the reason for writing the book or article, asking myself the following questions:

- Do I still want to write this?
- Is the deadline realistic?
- Is the subject still in alignment with the bigger vision?
- Is there another angle to tackle the same subject (providing it is still in alignment)
- What is the message I/my character want/s to share or understand?
- Is it time for a nap?

Once I have answered these questions, I make a cup of tea and then revisit what I have written before I get going again.

Hope this helps! :)
