Goodreads asked S.C. Monson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.C. Monson I write out the point that's giving me grief, then list different options for the motivation or the way the story can go from there. I may even hash things out with my husband. Sometimes I'll google incidents in real life that are similar to events in my book and try to glean inspiration from them. Other times, I just keep trying to write or stare aimlessly off into space. The latter is far less effective.
