Goodreads asked Amanda Labonté:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Amanda Labonté I used to go for a walk or do something to give my brain a break, but last year I went to a wonderful workshop with writer Joan Sullivan and she taught this technique called 'circling'. The idea is that most writer's block is a result of getting lost in the story. Journaling about your story can bring you back to the reason you were writing it in the first place, often leading to a renewed sense of purpose. I usually find this works for me.
