Goodreads asked Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rebecca Wenrich Wheeler The primary thing is to put some distance between myself and the text. Which could mean working on a different piece for a while (I usually have 2-3 going at once), which works if I'm not on deadline. If I am on a deadline, exercising or gardening helps. I'm separating myself from the work and thinking of something else for a little while, then I can come back to it with fresh eyes.
