Goodreads asked Elizabeth S. Eiler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Elizabeth S. Eiler Much of success is showing up and getting to work. Sometimes, I need a break: Rest, reading something entertaining in a completely different genre, exercise, etc. Other times, intensive thinking and meditating on the plot and character motivations are necessary. When a break or rumination time don't help, I have to push my way through. The act of writing and doing the work helps me tap into the life stream of the book, and that's when the self-propelling magic happens. Ultimately believing in my voice and message drives me to keep going.
