Goodreads asked Debra Clewer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Debra Clewer I put the project aside for a while and then come back to look at it with fresh eyes. This was another sage piece of advice I read, and it works for me. I have done many re-writes by using that method. In fact, I'm doing it at the moment with another short story which has a 1,000-word limit. I wrote the first few paragraphs and realised it was over 500 words. Then I had a writer's block about how to proceed. It's currently being re-worked.
