Goodreads asked B.C. Dee:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

B.C. Dee If I'm not on a schedule, I put down the work and let it tickle the back of my mind while I move (walk/run/ride/drive/play)

If I'm writing on a schedule, there are several questions I ask myself:

At its heart, what is this book/chapter/paragraph/sentence about?
What would be the opposite of what you're trying to write?
If you were a child/dog/ant, what would this look/sound/feel like?

Or, if the block is because I can't hang on to all of the threads:

I go back to my story arc and my outline so that I can focus on one little step without having to incorporate everything at once.
