Goodreads asked Clare Urbanski:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Clare Urbanski 1. What I usually do is I have my main project in one folder and all my new rogue ideas in another folder, and if I get writer's block on my main project I "cheat" on it with another project. I'll usually find something to work on.

2. Another option is to just sort of babble to myself in my notebook and develop some history/lore/character backstories. Usually something gives me a cool idea I want to incorporate.

3. I've also found that procrastinating other things, like work I'm actually supposed to be doing, is terrific inspiration!
