Goodreads asked Tina Isaacs:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Tina Isaacs I usually have a couple of projects going on at the same time. Right now, that's my debut novel project and a short story. When I get stuck on one project, I switch to the other one. Alternatively, I pick up a book (either from a trusted favorite author, a recommendation list or a random pick) to read.
I find taking the time away from the "blocked" project really helps, because time away gives your mind a rest and will improve your writing in the long run. Often, ideas come to me about improving or tweaking the work when I'm away from it.
