Goodreads asked Kim MacQuarrie:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kim MacQuarrie I'm fortunate in that I've never experienced that. And rarely do I start a piece and later decide that that's the wrong direction. I tend to outline things before I start, even though sometimes the outline is very basic--like on the back of an envelope. That helps keep me going in the right direction. Also, I'm a firm believer that your mind does a lot of work on a project while you sleep. I always pay a lot of attention to what my mind has figured out, just when I wake up, and make sure I jot it down.
