Goodreads asked Roberta Trahan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Roberta Trahan A publishing mentor of mine once told me that creativity happens in the subconscious. I don't view writer's block as an obstacle - I see it as a challenge. When I don't know where to go next with a story, I walk away from it and engage myself in mundane distractions like doing the dishes. This allows my mind to wander, which usually leads me to the solution I was seeking.
