Goodreads asked Emanuela Cooper:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Emanuela Cooper I don't really get writers block.

I write 7 days a week. At the moment, working on my first draft, I aim to write 1 hour a day, sometimes a little more. As I finish up for the day, I open up a new idea on the page, to offer myself a seed to get the next day started.

If I get stuck on a point, I leave and move onto something else. I put it to one side and jot down another idea that's in the back of my mind.

Once I start, though I'm only writing an hour a day, the other 23 hours, the story is always with me, day or night, moving, growing, changing in my mind.
