Goodreads asked C.J. Carmichael:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C.J. Carmichael If I'm working on a story and the words dry up, I know I've taken a wrong turn somewhere. I like to go for a long walk, take a bath, or do a mundane chore that allows me to think while my body is busy. Usually the answer comes to me with some careful thought and reflection.

When I'm between books, I often find watching an amazing movie, reading a real page turner, or visiting a bookstore to be inspiring. I love stories so much, and can't resist the urge to write...not for long, anyway!

Locations also inspire me. Sometimes when I'm traveling I come upon beautiful countryside, or a charming small town, a place where I can imagine living...and before I know it I've started another trilogy!
