Goodreads asked Doug Walsh:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Doug Walsh I go mountain biking. Not on technical trails where I have to empty my mind and focus on the task at hand, but on the swoopy non-technical trails that run through our neighborhood. The fresh air and exercise really helps invigorate me -- I'm often most productive right after a solid hour of pedaling -- and getting outside eliminates the tendency to waste time with Internet distractions. Often, when I'm least expecting it, a solution to my problem will just pop into my head, bursting the blockage.
