Goodreads asked Nancy Lorenz:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nancy Lorenz Writer's block, I find is caused by a number of things: fatigue, too many things on your mind at once, and also an unfocused plot or characterization.

I think that it is best to walk away for a few days, get rest, eat healthily, refuel, and re-energize. Then, it's easier to find new ideas, and/or gaps in continuity, better sentences or perspectives, structure etc. It is just a matter of changing gears for a while, and then returning anew.
