Goodreads asked Libbi Duncan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Libbi Duncan There was never a time I couldn't overcome my hesitation with a walk or a warm drink and some good music. When I was writing my rough draft, I set a daily word count. I would sit down at my desk and write until I met that goal. If I really had trouble, I wrote in a journal first as sort of a warm-up. I wrote anything: questions about what I was writing, notes, nonsense, whatever came to mind. Eventually inspiration would hit and I'd get to work. Having an outline helped as well. If I was ever stuck, I'd just see where I needed to go next in the story and think about how to get there.
