Goodreads asked Amy Blackthorn:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Amy Blackthorn There are a few ways, I can get up from my desk in my office and get a drink, move around and those work pretty quickly for temporary blocks. If it's a frustration based block, I'll stop writing and work on orders for my tea shop, "Blackthorn Hoodoo Blends" borne out of my lifelong study and practice of hoodoo. And if it progresses to the point beyond that, I make a writer's dolly out of paper at my desk, label it 'writer's block' and smack it on the desk a few times. /chuckle I look at writing like a job and I have to be disciplined about it or it'll never get done. I use a word count app to keep me honest.
