Goodreads asked M.L. Carrington:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

M.L. Carrington I'm really good at compartmentalizing myself. I think that's one characteristic of Sara (my debut novel, What Sara Said) that she gets from me. So to deal with writer's block, I put my story in a mental box, decide on a timeframe (usually only a week or two) to "put it away" and then I come back to it refreshed and usually the block is gone. If that doesn't work, I take a long drive with a particular playlist on repeat that helps get my creative juices flowing.
