Goodreads asked Sarah Stewart Taylor:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sarah Stewart Taylor I rarely find myself with the classic writer's block -- where I can't write at all. Instead, I find that I sometimes reach a point in a book where I'm writing but it doesn't feel productive, if that makes sense. I can write, but it doesn't feel like I'm writing *the right things*. When that happens, I've found that the best thing I can do is to take a break and sort of let my unconscious writer's mind take over. Going for a long walk or (sadly) cleaning often serve to sort of get me out of my own way and help me figure out what should come next.
