Goodreads asked Laura Shepperd:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Laura Shepperd Some of the most prolific and successful writers' solution to writer's block is, "Keep on writing, anyway!" And they shout it like that, with exclamation marks and everything. So I try it, because they know what they're doing. I've also found good old-fashioned labor helps me. It could be cleaning house or painting (trim and baseboards, not canvas - nobody wants that). But whatever the case, it seems shifting my focus to the tangible allows the more creative, intangible thoughts to run around all naked and free and work themselves out. Music helps me a lot too.
