Goodreads asked Mabh Savage:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mabh Savage Good question. The dreaded 'block' can come upon me at the most inopportune times, like when a publisher is chasing for a first draft, or when three deadlines are approaching at once. I tend to just accept that what I'm writing during the 'block' is just utter rubbish, and take a break. I might play some Skyrim if the wee one is in bed, or make some wine, or play some music. I find once my mind has been completely focused on another task for a while, the creative juices start to flow a bit more. Of course, this doesn't always work, and sometimes I end up a gibbering wreck wondering if I'll ever write again...
