Goodreads asked Megan McCooey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Megan McCooey I used to try and push through writer's block. If I had an idea in my head I would sit in front of the computer because I believed it would come to me. But over time what I have learned is that creativity has a mind of it's own. So now, I wait...sometimes not so patiently, until I feel-literally feel, the creativity flowing through me. When that happens I become a power house. I wrote the first Crossroads, Angela and Full Moon, drunk on creativity, all in less than a week, because I listened to myself. In addition, waiting until the right time makes a difference in what I produce. I can see the difference when I read back material I forced versus material I was ready to write.
