Goodreads asked Nicole R. Pramik:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nicole R. Pramik I read this piece of advice years ago (and forgive me for forgetting the source): always juggle multiple ideas and/or projects. That way, if I'm writing a first draft of one story and feel creatively stuck, I'll switch to outlining or drafting a different story. It helps break my concentration on the first story for a bit until I feel ready to return to it. The same goes for taking long breaks after intensive writing sessions. There is something to be said for sitting a project aside for a while, refusing to think about it, and going back to it later when my mind is refreshed. Every writer has his or her own strategies, but those are a few that work for me. I hope this helps!
