Goodreads asked Sophia Bennett:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sophia Bennett Hmm. Writers' blcok. For years I didn't have it, but now occasionally I do. I can always write, but there are times when I don't have confidence in anything I've written, and that's writers' block for me. As a professional author, I have deadlines to meet, so I have to find a way to write through it. Occasionally I'll take time off, do something different, visit a gallery and try and inspire myself again. I'll read books I love, and definitely go for a long walk. Long walks rock! But at some stage, you just have to get back to the writing. So I keep going, even if I'm not sure what I'm doing, and I'm usually amazed, looking back, that it was much better than I thought. Keep going - that's the answer. Forge through that block and find out what's on the other side. It will be OK.
