Goodreads asked Cathy MacRae:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cathy MacRae If I am having difficulty with a story, I take a step back. I may have written a character into an unrealistic position, acting in a way not consistent with his personality. Or, perhaps I've lost the original story thread. Usually I can straighten these instances out in short order. If not, I might write a different scene and merge the two- just keep words flowing. I can also take a break and do something else creative for a bit. Cooking, work on my website, write up a blog. Challenge another part of my brain for a bit.
