Goodreads asked Rissa Brahm:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rissa Brahm When writer's block hits, it hits hard, and I back. Away. From. The laptop. No need to pour energy into the blockage.

I read my favorite inspirations like Laura Kaye, Megan Hart, Jojo Moyes, Laurelin Paige, Sylvia Day. I also read with my daughter (while she'll still have me!—she's ten). We delve into Harry Potter, Secret Garden, Tuck Everlasting, Bridge to Terabithia—all fabulous works that keep my creative juices flowing.

And I watch stuff—mostly romantic comedies, but also my gotta-have-'em shows like Game of Thrones, House of Cards and Black Sails. They kick me out of romance-mode while keeping me plugged into killer-story creation.

Lastly, I bike ride. Never underestimate the power of exercise and blood flow.

It only takes a few days to conquer the block with a spark of something, and then I'm back at it!
