Goodreads asked S. Burke:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S. Burke It frustrates me endlessly when my muse takes itself off and disappears. We all have our own ways of dealing with it. I tend to leave everything alone, I don't attempt to force my writing, that will always end badly. I use the down time to work on the marketing side of things. Facebook and twitter, my Author page etc. If that doesn't free me up, then I step away from the laptop, and I garden, clean, cook, anything but write. My muse can disappear for weeks at a time or longer, so when I do write I tend to go without sleep and go for it whilst it lasts.
