Thanks for the question, Goodreads! My writer's block is doubly frustrating, as any writer with small children can attest. When I do have inspiration, I sometimes can't do anything about it; there's a diaper to be changed, a random disgusting artifact to be plucked from a little fist before it disappears into the mouth...but when I have writer's block, I can't easily employ all the best techniques, like meditation, taking a detour and writing about a completely different subject, taking a walk...unless I have a rare day all by myself. So I often have to walk away from writing altogether for a week, or even two weeks, to let my mind settle down. I ignore writing like a misbehaving imp until it comes to an agreement with my subconscious. It helps.
