A very large glass of wine. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.
But really....
It's my opinion that writer's block happens when I'm out of inspiration or burnt out. The best way of dealing with this is to relax. Take a break. Take a walk. Read a book. Watch a movie. Do a puzzle. Call your mom. Play tennis. In short, have fun NOT writing. Don't think about the book. Go on mental holiday from it. This might be terrifying. You may think that you'll NEVER return to the nasty problem that left you stumped, but you will. You'll find yourself rejuvenated and full of new, brilliant ideas when you're ready. It works. Give it a go.

The idea for The Orphan and the Thief came as many ideas do: suddenly and electrifying, much like a piano falling from the sky. It was over Christmas and I was playing a time cherished board game with my older siblings, the Amazing Labyrinth. The quirky drawings and heated competition to find all my specific treasures (along with a large glass of wine) sent my mind alight with a new, grand adventure: a fun, exciting potion quest.
