Goodreads asked Nicki Ehrlich:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nicki Ehrlich I'm not sure I believe in this thing called "writer's block." I think, as writers, we have to realize that the process is more than filling up a blank page. There is a lot of thought that goes into characters and scenes, and sometimes we need to allow those thoughts room to circulate and merge and grow. That might mean reading, or taking a walk, or staring out the window. Then I might write a letter, or write a scene or a bit of dialogue—something to warm up the fingers. I'm rarely, if ever, stuck for long.
