Goodreads asked Lisa Smartt:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lisa Smartt I find that being physically active really helps get the imagination and the Spirit moving. Dancing is the most inspiring form of movement for me as is swimming. These things help me a lot. Sometimes, I just need to let things gestate. Babies are not made in a day. It takes time often for things to jell. I find I go through cycles where there is just a flow of ideas and words and images. Many times those cycles are preceded by quiet restful times that seem on the surface to be unproductive--but in truth, they are not.
