Goodreads asked Laura Chapman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Laura Chapman While I don't necessarily believe in writer's block, I do believe in giving into the desire to be lazy from time to time. :) If I'm not on deadline, and my head feels like mush, I give myself permission to binge-watch Netflix or tackle my daunting to-read pile. But when I do have a deadline looming or just need to get serious about writing, I make time to write. I'll wake up early to give myself an hour and a half to write before work. I'll carve out time after work. And if I really feel myself needing structure, I'll pull out the egg timer (or the stopwatch on my cell phone) and order myself to write for 25 minutes--no distractions. (It's called the Pomodoro Technique if you'd like to look it up.) So basically, just write.
