Goodreads asked Beth Morey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Beth Morey It depends on the source of the block. If it's based in burnout or fatigue, I'll take a break, or find a different mode of creativity for a little while. I'll also make sure to fill my well (in the words of Julia Cameron) by taking in lots of good art, writing, etc. If the block is based in fear (which almost 100% of my "blocks" are), then I'll keep writing, because the only way out is through. Fun? Not really. But necessary, for me at least.
