Goodreads asked Victoria Colotta:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Victoria Colotta Dealing with writer's block sucks. There are a few things that I always try. The first is to take my dog for a walk. This clears my head and I get some exercise. If that doesn't work, I put on some music and draw. There is something about the act of drawing that completely calms me. Finally, if that doesn't work, I walk away. I do something for myself that has nothing to do with the book. I will bake, clean, re-organize my bookshelves, paint my nails, or read a book. By stepping back and not thinking about the story, always sparks something down the line whether it be an hour or a day.
