Goodreads asked Tricia Brown:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Tricia Brown My training as a newspaper journalist didn't allow me to even recognize writer's block. Deadlines demand it. But in other writing, it can rear up. I always feel that writing itself oils the gears--so free-writing, journal writing, even writing an email that requires more than a few sentences--that helps. The other extreme option is to just step away. Sometimes cleaning house is the best way for me to work out a problem in a story.
