Hannah Loertscher asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Hey, so write now I'm writing/working a story of my own and I wanted to ask you something. Sometimes while I'm writing, my mind goes blank and I can't think of anything. I ask my friends and family, but some of the answers they give me don't help at all, and I end up not working on my book. Do you have any tips for when you get stuck on writing, even if you already have the plot layed out? Thanks!

Jennifer A. Nielsen I think that's awesome you're writing, Hannah! If your mind goes blank while you're writing, then at that moment, stop and ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that could happen right now?" Usually, when you go blank, it's because your characters don't have enough problems. Good luck!
