Goodreads asked Fran Heap:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Fran Heap 1. Write something else! For example start thinking about a different project and work on that until inspiration comes back for the previous project.
2. Go through your notes. I have been collecting notes, ideas, information my whole life. You may find your answer in what to do next that removes the block.
3. Just write the thoughts going through your head. You may be able to use it for something (like a characters inner thoughts) down the track.
4. Do other author jobs likes editing, social media, taxes.
5. Tell yourself you have to clean the house if you don't start writing.
6. Eat junk food or have a cup of tea (or both).
7. Sometimes you just need a day off.
