Goodreads asked Kristin Butcher:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kristin Butcher If writer's block refers to not knowing what to write, I can honestly say I have never had it. Sometimes I'm unsure how I want to proceed, and I handle that several ways. Rereading the previous chapter or two to get my head back into the game is often the only nudge I need. If it's an issue with the plot that needs to be resolved, I have to do some problem-solving, and that generally means taking a nap or shower, since those are the times I do my best thinking. Other than that, I just push on. Even if I write a page or two that I eventually chuck out, the act of writing gets me back into the groove.
