Goodreads asked Pia Padukone:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Pia Padukone Sometimes I try to write through it, even if I am producing sub par work. I'm working on a novel now, and I wrote 40,000 words of it that will never see the light of day, but I wrote them while I was trying to push past a place where I was stuck.

If I'm really stuck, I'll take a day or two away from the manuscript and read a really good book. I always, always get inspired by reading phenomenal work, and it usually inspires me to think about my own work from another angle.
