Goodreads asked Mary Beth Keane:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mary Beth Keane When writing really isn't going well I don't force it. I stop writing and instead use my writing time to read for a few days. Sometimes I'll read something new, and if I love it that can be enough to re-energize my own writing. Sometimes I'll go for something dependable, something I already know I love. I think of it as a cleanse. Then when I go back to writing I feel more focused.

How do you come up with a good, solid conflict in a novel? I can come up with characters and traits etc I admire and would like to use, but I struggle fitting them into a concrete story that has a problem to resolve that is also interesting to read.
