Goodreads asked E.N. Joy:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

E.N. Joy First off, I need to make my usual disclaimer; I have a ghost writer. Yep, I said it. I sit down at my computer without a thought, care or outline in the world and I take dictation from my ghost writer. And everyone who knows me knows that my ghost writer is none other than the Holy Ghost. I allow God to give me the messages He wants for His people. His timing is always right, so readers seem to get the message during a period in their life when they need it most. I'm sure tons of authors can attest to this. We'll go back and read the proof pages of our books and say, "Who wrote this amazing book?" LOL. We can't remember writing half the stuff or even where it came from. We ask ourselves how did we ever come up with that idea. Well, we didn't. God's not going to give you a gift and a talent and, one, not make room for it, and two, not show you how to use it. So my ghost writer comes up with the book ideas and my fingers just run with it!
