Goodreads asked Beth Hudson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Beth Hudson I shook writer's block when I decided to break it down and deal with each element separately. To fight the dislike of writing when I wasn't inspired, I made myself write 2-4 pages a day, no matter how bad I thought it was. To keep myself from despair over my first drafts, I cultivated a mindset that I could always revise. To prevent "rejectomancy" (the idea that if I was rejected that meant I was no good) I asked a friend to screen my responses from publishers. I also workshop, which is a wonderful way to keep creativity flowing if I am in the right group. Of course, this is just me -- everyone has different strategies.
