Goodreads asked Em Brooks:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Em Brooks I try to write a little something every day. Sometimes I can write pages upon pages, other times I struggle to barely write a sentence so I just spend five minutes writing whatever comes to my mind. I never give myself "I HAVE to write this many words or pages." On the days I struggle to write, I just decide I'm meant to focus on other things and then go do them. Stepping away from my computer or notebook, getting outside, and living life cures it for me. Within a few hours or maybe days, my characters are talking to me again and I am back to filling pages.
