Goodreads asked Linda Keen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Linda Keen First, I'll know I'm pushing myself, that I need to relax and have a good laugh. I'll go outside into the garden, take some deep breaths, and say hello to the puffy clouds in the blue sky, to the birds and bees and the roses and morning glories. And if it's cold or windy outside, I'll say hello to that and the changes of the seasons. I'll be grateful for what is around me and that I'm lucky enough to live in these peaceful surroundings. Then maybe I'll take a walk, do yoga or go to the gym, because when I have writer's block, I know I'm living too much in my head and not enough in my heart where my writing needs to nest, hatch, and eventually fly forth.
