Goodreads asked Valarie Savage Kinney:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Valarie Savage Kinney I deal with writer's block by taking a break. I know a lot of authors say to push through it, but for me, if the words aren't coming and the story isn't flowing, I figure that's my brain telling me it needs a break. I turn off the computer, go outside (I know! Gasp!), walk my dogs, play some Apples to Apples with my kids. The only time I can't do this is when I have a deadline, but still, sometimes even a short 30 minute break can help.
