Goodreads asked Stephanie Barr:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Stephanie Barr Well, I'm a weird writer. The vast bulk of what I write is actually written by my subconscious and I can't bludgeon it into providing anything until it's ready. But I generally have a dozen or so ideas stoking at any one time so, if one runs dry, I can often pick up another.

The biggest downside is, when my subconscious is ready to go, I better type, quickly. At least three of my novels were written within 45 days without taking time off my day job or forgoing watching my children. But sleep, that's a whole other story.
