Goodreads asked Raynetta Manees:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Raynetta Manees One great thing about writing a book is that it doesn't have to be written in same order it will be read. So if I'm in Chapter 4 of a book and I get stuck as to how to continue, I jump ahead to another part of the book, say to Chapter 7, where I have a pretty good idea of a scene or scenes, and how I want to write them. Then I'll go back to the impasse in Chapter 4 later. I often find that the answer to the Chapter 4 problem will come to me while I'm doing something else, many times when what I'm doing has nothing directly to do with writing. I find this technique usually gets me past the bottleneck.
