Goodreads asked Brea Lamb:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Brea Lamb I allow myself space from my writing. We live in such a face-paced world. One in which encourages burnout for the sake of production. Yet, we often suffer at the hands of what used to bring us joy because of that. Writers block is normal, burnout is not. Allow yourself the space and time to prevent the latter when the former finds its way to you. Read a book, get a coffee, put your toes in some sand. Take a day, a week, a month, or more away from your writing. Do what you need to do to make sure you do not forget your joy, because that is when you stop producing something great, and start producing something forced.
