Goodreads asked Lynn Lorenz:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lynn Lorenz Mostly by not writing unless I have something in my head to write. See, no block! But when I do write, it's usually a chapter in about 1-2 hours.

Also, I give my self permission not to write - when I'm ill, swamped with family or work issues. It's okay not to write. Forcing the writing is painful and usually results in not your best work.

Sometimes you need to refill the well. Read. Relax. Let your mind start thinking about a scene or a character or a new project.
