Goodreads asked Martina Boone:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Martina Boone For me, writer's block seems to be more of a subconscious signal that something isn't working in the story than any kind of a creative "block." So I usually resort to mapping out what's going on in the story--the motivation and goals of all the characters. I look for places where what one character wants is different than the other characters in the scene--conflict--and that gets me energized. Or I hunt out where I've got a character doing something that character wouldn't really do.
