Goodreads asked Ellen Read:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ellen Read I never sit at the computer and stare at a blank document waiting for inspiration to come to me. I think ahead about what I'm writing for the day. However, sometimes the characters or the story starts to go in a different direction to what I intended, which may seem odd but it happens. When it does and I need to think things through, I always leave the computer and walk around, or have a coffee, or read someone's else's book for a few minutes. Then I can go back to the computer feeling refreshed.
