Goodreads asked Sharlene MacLaren:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sharlene MacLaren I've figured out why I get writer's block, and it's because I come to crossroads in my story and can't figure out where to go next. When that happens I PRAY, give my story a rest for a few days, pray some more, and then I wait till the ideas start flowing again. Once I cross that hurdle, I'm up and running - until that next crossroad. I find I just have to keep plowing through and be careful not to take off too much time fretting about my scenes. I can fix them later when I go back and reread.
