Goodreads asked Morwen Navarre:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Morwen Navarre Writer's block is insidious, isn't it? It can start as innocently as deciding that instead of writing the day's word count, maybe a little research is in order. After all, even if this is a fantasy world, I want some things to make sense, or to resemble another time and cultural environment. While the research can be fun, leading to all sorts of tidbits that will eventually enrich the story, even if I don't use them, at the end of the day, I've lost ground.

I tend to have a couple of projects going at once. If I stall on one, or see myself heading into the mists of research, then I know that I'll have to produce that daily word count by working on Project Number Two. It's not a perfect system, because I have days when nothing I'm working on inspires me to write, so my next solution is to blog, or to even work on a fan fiction. You'd be amazed how closing someone else's plot holes can help you past your own block. Or I write a letter, or catch up on my reading.

And if none of that works, I take the puppy for a Very Long Walk. I'm the kind of person who will talk to people, and having an adorable six-month old corgi at my side opens up all sorts of conversational doors. You never know what's going to happen when you talk to someone. They might recount an experience, or mention something that triggers an association in your brain, and the next thing you know, you're itching to get back to the keyboard.

The only thing I don't do is give up.
