Goodreads asked Jane Nicolet:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jane Nicolet I first recognize that it is not something to fear because it is going to happen. Writing is intense and exacting work. Sometimes my mind and heart just balk at the idea of creating one more sentence. So, I rest; I take a break for awhile and do something mindless and fun. Because what I'm working on is always percolating even though I'm on break, words, ideas, questions, thoughts are still lining up somewhere in my head. When I'm rested, I'm ready to begin again with some new thoughts about an waiting project.
