Goodreads asked Lee Allen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lee Allen I've been lucky so far in the sense that I don't suffer from the traditional concept of writer's block. I'm never stuck on wondering where the plot will go next or what message or images I want the next scene to deliver.
I'm driven by the detail of the characters and the plots and always enjoy exploring this and taking the story in new directions as I write. Stories and characters I'm currently working on are always living inside my head.
Perhaps my greatest challenge is overcoming perceived obstacles in order to enable myself to sit down and continue writing from the latest point where I left the story. A particular way I've overcome this is to always keep a notebook to hand, or alternatively use a mobile phone or open up an email when sitting at a computer, to take notes or record the next sentence that is floating in my head.
Maybe that will be all I'll record in that sitting, but it's a good starting point for the next time I sit down to write, whether it be that evening or weekend. I rarely add this next sentence to my current draft and not continue beyond it.
