Goodreads asked Britain Kalai Soderquist:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Britain Kalai Soderquist If I am struggling with a particular scene, I take a break from writing for a couple of hours, or sometimes a couple of days. I don't like to write unless I feel like the story is going to create itself as I go. In the past I have tried to force myself to work through a problem (and sometimes this is necessary), but for the most part it doesn't work. Be patient, move on to other things, and let the "eureka" principle go to work for you.

Sometimes I have writer's block for a particular part of a story, but I have other scenes that are begging to be set down. So I take a break from the scene that is giving me trouble and write out of sequence for a while. Emptying my mind of the scenes I want to write makes room for the scenes that I am not as excited about to grow on me.
