Marien asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi Ruta! I read your book a few years ago and I have never forgotten it! It was such a powerful and well-written book, but I was wondering how you were able to continue writing the book when you had writers block (if you even ever got it). How were you able to work past your own mind? I'm asking because not a second of the book was boring or slow and it was so interesting that I was able to read it in under an hour.

Ruta Sepetys Hello Marien!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

When I'm writing and I feel a bit "stuck" I leave my computer and take a walk or listen to music. Engaging another part of my brain for a few minutes seems to work the knots loose. Any form of exercise or physical activity also helps. Thanks again!
