Goodreads asked C.H. Armstrong:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

C.H. Armstrong If I'm working on a work in progress and can't think through to discover what should happen next, I just walk away. I close the computer and give my brain time to just "be." Invariably, it seems, the characters don't like to be ignored and they start talking to me and the story starts to come back. Sometimes that happens relatively quickly, and other times it takes a day or two. But eventually they get tired of being ignored and start shouting out the next stage of the book.

Does that sound weird? Sounds almost like I have multiple personalities or schizophrenia. :)
