Goodreads asked Deborah Patrick:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Deborah Patrick Writers block is my kryptonite! While a lot of authors try to deny the mere existence of it; I assure you it is real and is something every writer must learn to co-exist with. I have recently learned a life lesson of "accept, and adjust." This works great with writers block for me. Rather than struggling through it and writing sub-par material, I accept the fact that nothing is flowing in this moment and move on with life. It is in these moments that I take the time to read inspirational material, get out and move more, or my favorite tool to relax, break open a bottle of wine and declare, "Date Night!"
