Katelyn Douglas asked Sarah Sundin:

What inspires you to write if/when you're in a writing slump?

Sarah Sundin Hi Katelyn! For some reason, I didn't see this six months ago - oops! I don't usually find myself in writing slumps. I have contracts (and written proposals) for my next three novels - so I have writing material for the next three years. I'm very much an outliner/plotter, so I've already figured out what is going to happen and when. So if I sit down to write and get that "slump" feeling, I review my notes for the upcoming chapter and read the previous few chapters so I can get a running start. However, I've learned if that slump feeling persists, it may be because there's something wrong in my outline - a big-picture problem with pacing, perhaps.
