Goodreads asked Susan Signe Morrison:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Susan Signe Morrison By writing. Don’t be afraid to put pen to paper or your fingers on the keyboard. When my son was in middle school, he was writing a fantasy book. As he was telling me one of the stories, he said, “No, that’s not right. Hmmmmm…..I’ll have to wait til I get the right word.” I told him, “DON’T WAIT!” The great thing about writing is, you can always revise it and make it better later. It’s best to write when you are in a white-heat and passion about it. Don’t worry if the exact word isn’t there for you. Put an “X” on the page where the word or passage is missing. You can always go back and change it, add to it, and reflect on it more.
