Goodreads asked Lauren Kate:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lauren Kate My "blocks" are generally related to not understanding how a character of mine feels, so when I'm stuck, I will generally switch the lens of the scene, and instead of telling it from my protagonists point of view, I will write it from the point of view of another character who knows my protagonist intimately. That other character can often see things in my protagonist that I cannot. They can unlock a scene. I can't often use this material in the finished novel, but it does important work nonetheless.
