Goodreads asked Sylvia McNicoll:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sylvia McNicoll Usually I step away and think about my story while I do something else, walking the dog really helps. Thinking about the project in those moments before I fall asleep often makes me wake up in the morning with a new perspective. When I'm stuck on a plot point, I might do some more research and follow a route that it takes me. If I'm discouraged for some reason, I revisit the original inspiration and get juiced all over again.
