Goodreads asked V.M. Rose:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

V.M. Rose When I have writer's block the first thing I do is put the laptop or my phone down and get out of my head. Staring at the screen is not going to make the words magically appear and you are just going to make yourself crazy. I try to go work out if my kids will let me and I can juggle it into the schedule, maybe grab a snack or a glass of wine if the time is right, go outside get some fresh air, do something other than look at the screen. In truth, with such a busy schedule, I often have to keep all of my ideas stored up and jot them down when I have time, then after the kids are all in bed, that is when I have the time to formulate it into real writing. If you are stuck, put the screen down, get outside and clear your head. You may find inspiration in the most random places, inspiration is all around you!
