Goodreads asked Lisa Aldridge:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lisa Aldridge Writer's block can be both frustrating and mentally exhausting. I think every writer develops tools to deal with those moments/days/weeks when the words just don't seem to come easily. For me, music is very helpful and just writing about something off topic can get the juices flowing again. But other times it's a matter of plot development or what to do with a character. That's when I take to the road. Sometimes, I will get in the car and drive for a couple of hours to work things out in my mind. One time, I drove for 12 hours because things started working themselves out in my head and when I got home, I was able to just write freely.
