Kelly asked Kristin Hannah:

Do you ever experience writers block and if so how do you deal with it?

Kristin Hannah Hi Kelly--- I am fortunate that I haven't never experienced what people call "writer's block." I think part of the reason for this is that I am very clear about a few things when I write--most important is the idea that it doesn't have to be perfect. I give myself permission to simply follow the story. I give myself reasonable writing goals and I make sure to meet them. I also work very hard to have avenues to fill the creative well other than writing--books, movies, tv, sports, and time to relax. Good luck!
