Goodreads asked Alleece Balts:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alleece Balts When I get writer's block, it usually means I need to step back and give my brain a break. I'll go on a walk, weed the flowers, fold a load of laundry, or focus on some other mindless task. It gives my mind a chance to wander freely, and some of my best plot ideas and twists have come to me when I wasn't consciously thinking about writing.

One of my favorite authors, Agatha Christie, once said, "The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes." I love that.
