Goodreads asked Layla Nash:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Layla Nash I usually have to start by figuring out why I'm blocked -- am I burned out? bored with the plot? sick of the characters? run out of plot? gone down the wrong path and now I can't write myself out of the corner?

Usually once I've worked through why I can't write, I take the dog for a long walk or wash a bunch of dishes or sweep every inch of the floor while my brain works out how to fix the problem. Then it's just a matter of getting the words out -- which can sometimes take another day or two.
