Goodreads asked Meghann Doyle:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Meghann Doyle I don't often have writer's block, but when it happens, I pull out a blank piece of paper and play the "what if" game. The quality of the ideas may not be great, but making the effort usually helps. It's as though getting all the garbage ideas out of the way makes room for some quality ones. It's like cleaning stale leftovers out of the fridge. If that doesn't work I do something else; I take a walk or work on a different aspect of the project.
