Goodreads asked Monica Alexander:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Monica Alexander It's no secret to anyone who reads my books that I'm obsessed with music, so most of the time when I'm struggling with a scene, I'll put my headphones in and take my dog for a walk. It forces me to get out of the house and away from my writing for a while. Most of the time it'll help clear my head enough that I can come back to the scene and push through it. But music also makes me think of other stories - the ones in the lyrics of the songs - and sometimes that will spark an idea I never knew was there. It can be incredibly therapeutic and inspiring at the same time.
