Goodreads asked Linda Lee Schell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Linda Lee Schell I write scenes that I think might work. When ideas and an organizational flow develops in my mind, I connect the scenes, in some cases throwing out entire scenes. Researching the era the story takes place helps, or learning about the habits of possible characters I may want to instill in a story.

For example, my protagonists are a kangaroo and a cat. Learning about the habits of kangaroos and cats helped me develop and describe my characters, and also sparked ideas for conflict.
