Goodreads asked Sofiya Pasternack:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sofiya Pasternack Get up, get moving!

My particular brand of writer's block is my brain's way of telling me "this ain't it." So when I just.cannot.keep.writing, it's usually because the story, the plot, the characters, SOMETHING isn't right.

So I'll get away from my story for a while and just think. Read something else. Play some BotW (gotta get that motorcycle). Go to the gym.

Then I'll come back to my outline and I'll examine what's going on. It takes some work to break through, but once I do, I can get back to jammin' out those words!
