Goodreads asked Sherry Alexander:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sherry Alexander I read, watch, listen, and mow. Reading other authors' books helps me get focus. Watching people and kids interact at the library, the grocery store, the coffee shop, or on the school playground inspires me. Listening to people talk, the news, radio talk shows, and overhearing snippets of my grand kids conversations with their friends gives me new ideas on how to handle whatever story or article I am working on. And, mowing our 4 acre field allows me the time to rework a troublesome scene or chapter in my mind.

If none of that works, then I set the piece I am presently working on aside, and start something new.
