Goodreads asked Amber Smith:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Amber Smith I'm not sure if I believe writer's block is a real thing, but that's not to say I don't get stuck, or have bouts where everything I write is terrible! That happens A LOT, but I don't think writer's block is necessarily something that happens TO you, but rather something that you often do to yourself! :)

One of the things I try to do is to make sure I have a couple of different things I’m working on at once, so that if I get stuck on one book, I can jump over to work on something else for a little while, and most often the original problem I was having tends to resolve itself when I’m not so focused on it.

For me, dealing with writer's block is mostly about determining how to get out of my own way.
