Goodreads asked Ginger Pinholster:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ginger Pinholster For me, "writer's block" means I don't know what should happen next in my story. I recommend the Talk/Walk/Try (TWT) cure for writer's block. That is, you can talk (T) it through with a friend who likes to read. You can walk (W) through some environment that relates to your story. (For instance, if you're writing about snakes, visit a serpentarium.) Or, you can try (T) different plot paths. Remember what Charles Frazier did in his book Thirteen Moons? Write several versions of the plot twist and see which one you like best. At the very least, you'll get back into the swing of writing.
