Goodreads asked Herb Williams-Dalgart:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Herb Williams-Dalgart I can’t say that I have experienced writer’s block (thank goodness) and I attribute that to a few things: 1) I have a full-time job outside of writing and use my commute time to explore story and plot in my head. When the time comes to write, I usually have a lot of content pent up to work out; 2) “Writing” historical fiction is really a combination of real writing, research, plotting, and editing, so if I find myself stuck creatively, I can switch over to researching, plotting, editing, etc. 3) I typically start each writing day by editing the last thing I wrote. That gets the juices flowing, engages me in the story right where I left off, and feeds the energy for more writing!
