Goodreads asked Nancy Cole Silverman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nancy Cole Silverman I view writing as a job. I sit down everyday, just as though I'd gone to the offce and I work on a scene. I try to get it in the best shape I can and then move on to the next. I don't start the day with the goal of writing a set number of words, but with setting a scene and then working from there. Sometimes, if I'm stuck I move ahead to another scene. It doesn't matter if it's in order or not. Eventually, I know I'll be rewriting it anyway. The important thing is to keep the story flowing inside me and onto the page.
