Goodreads asked Alexandra Curry:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alexandra Curry I do one of two things. Most often I take my dog for a walk. We walk 6 miles - which takes about an hour and a half - and it is amazing what comes to mind. I focus on a couple of things: one is what is going on around us as we walk. The second is first sentences. I often find that once I have that first compelling sentence to start the chapter, the paragraph - or the book for that matter, I am ready to charge ahead.

And the second thing I do? Hot yoga. It's hot, it is sweaty, and it really helps me focus!
