Goodreads asked Dena Taylor:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Dena Taylor When I feel blocked it's usually because I don't have a good enough grip on my intention or that I've spent too many hours in my head or that I slept on my face for six hours. Whatever the hurdle, a long walk, an errand, or time with a friend does the trick. It's not just the mental break, it's the physical space break--getting away from the keyboard--that gives me perspective. And many times, I return to the page and say, "There it is! Why didn't I see this before?"
