A Goodreads user asked Lurlene McDaniel:

What did you do when you experienced writer's block? How did you fix it?

Lurlene McDaniel I stop writing, and take a break. During the break, I travel, shop, visit friends. However, during that time the characters are living inside my head, and before I know it, they start talking to me, and that breaks the block. I also plan scenes, and do a detailed plot line before starting. And, most important, I NEVER begin writing a book until I have its ending. Often, I have an ending long before I have the plot and characters! So for me, the ending is really the beginning of all my books.
