Goodreads asked Maria Johnson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Maria Johnson If I get writer's block, I find a change of scene quite helpful. Going for a walk is great, as you can often be inspired by what you see around you, even the particular shape of a tree could prompt an idea to continue a scene or where you might go with a character. A good tip is to try to always carry a notebook and pen with you so you can scribble ideas down on the go (looking where you're going, though, obviously!)

Another tip is to try not to get down about it. Some days are slower writing days than others and sometimes you might not write at all- that's ok, it might be a break refreshes things for you a bit. :)
