Goodreads asked Christine Sleeter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Christine Sleeter Take my dog for a walk. Honestly! I usually don't get writer's block, but when I do, my mind often sorts things out while I'm out walking (usually with the dog). Sometimes talking about what I'm working on and where I'm stuck with a friend helps to, except friends can give suggestions that end up not being very helpful. The solution to writer's block is in my own head, and providing unstructured time to let my mind wander usually lets me connect some mental dots needed to get going again.
