Goodreads asked Susan Shapiro Barash:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Susan Shapiro Barash I write every day and actually believe that's the best way to avoid writer's block. If I'm not writing, I'm thinking about what I will write when I get to my desk. For my nonfiction books, I consider how women feel as mothers, daughters sisters, friends, colleagues, wives, single women in our society. For my novels, I consider the story about how women feel -- how will I convey what I've learned in my research and put it into a dramatic fictional tale. By being engaged in the writing process, I'm able to avoid the dreaded' block'
