Goodreads asked Cat Williams:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cat Williams Honestly, I play Civ 6. I watch old movies. I take a shower and listen to music. I simply walk away from whatever it is I'm writing at the time so that I can give myself a break and not focus on the fact that I'm having trouble moving on from where I'm at.

After a day or two, I'll go back and re-read what I'm writing and I may change things because what I'm trying to write isn't working and it needs to go in a different direction. Or, I may get inspiration of where to go from where I left off.

Either way, I don't force it because I have found, for me, trying to force myself to write something that doesn't want to be written at that time is not going to work and it will be awful.
