Goodreads asked Eileen Sauer:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Eileen Sauer I was mired in the weeds writing the book until finally I decided I would force myself to publish a chapter as a blog post each week. Granted, this isn't for everyone if you're trying to sell your book, but for me, making a public commitment to deliver worked. Since I initially had four chapters fairly well established, I was able to give myself a running start. This way, I was able to write, put it away, and revisit with fresh eyes which always led to improvements and insights. I like the quote by James A. Michener: "I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter."
