Goodreads asked Lily Nielsen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lily Nielsen I am a very big planner. I write an overarching summary months prior to writing the story and then I do a very long chapter-by-chapter outline on my computer and finally transfer it all into a notebook. It gets even more complicated along the way so I won't bore you with the details, but my I always know what will happen next in the story. For me, writer's block comes in the form of "I don't know how to word this". So usually, when faced with that, I just don't write, but it'll often come to me at late hours of the night and then it ends well! (That's probably not a good idea, but it works.)
