Goodreads asked Heather McCoubrey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Heather McCoubrey Writer's block is a funny thing. Some writers don't believe it exists, others swear by it. For me, I prefer to think of it as a corner I've written myself into. A place where the story or my characters don't want to be.

I deal with it by stepping back, letting the story simmer in my mind. Sometimes I'll skip ahead a write a different section and by doing that the answer will come for how to get myself out if the corner. Sometimes I'll exercise or work on a different kind of creative project.
