Goodreads asked B.C. Hedlund:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

B.C. Hedlund I deal with writer's block in a lot of ways. Sometimes I'll sit in front of my computer and just wait for something to pop into my head, which, although I am guilty of doing it, is not a recommended approach. Sometimes I look up quotes - I really enjoy quotes, especially those from other authors - that deal with more in depth topics because it usually helps me generate ideas of my own. When I'm dealing with severe writer's block, I usually step away from the project for a bit, sometimes I'll step away from writing for a couple hours or days to catch my bearings. I try to get back in touch with the characters, and I'll usually just do some light writing to collect my thoughts until I fully reconnect with my characters and the story, and start writing again.
