Goodreads asked Duana Welch:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Duana Welch Good question. I work from outlines that I add to as ideas come to me, and that usually prevents block; but if a planned topic just doesn't speak to me on a given day, I move on to another part of the outline. That and eating cookies have stood me in good stead, although eventually I regret the cookies. More seriously, I found that after I started taking two walks a day--one in the morning, one at night--I got sharper, and writer's block is rarely an issue now. Wish I could say the same about cookies.
