Goodreads asked Fay Risner:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Fay Risner So far I have never experienced writer's block. I have four file draws full of ideas for books. Each file has a prospective title and notes so I can pick one to work on when my last book is published. As I am working on a book, I do a lot of research on other stories and put the notes in the files. Sometimes, I come across something in print or online and think that would fit one of my stories and make a note of it for a file. So I am always planning way ahead.
My method of writing is to start typing what is in my head about the story from beginning to end. I go back and put in details and fill in the blanks. This works for the National Novel Writing Month contest in November. I have entered several times and have been successful at making it over the 50,000 word deadline. From November until January and the book is edited and published and then I am working on another book right away.
