Goodreads asked Mae Winn:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mae Winn I walk in the woods, run errands or do chores when I'm working out a creative problem. My mind wanders when I'm moving, especially if I'm doing something unpleasant. My mind also wanders when I'm happy, or driving. If my mind isn't wandering enough to get the job done, then I either set about physically wandering (so my mind will follow), or I do something repetitive or unpleasant (which causes my mind wander to escape from the current situation or task at hand).
