Goodreads asked Lourie Nolan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lourie Nolan When I get to a block I stop writing. I never force a book. Everything I have ever written that was forced ended up being deleted once I got my head back into it. I've never published anything that was forced. If I have to give it a lot of thought... I'm not going to be happy with it anyway.

For me, blocks are usually broken right before I go to sleep. There is nothing to do but lay in a dark quiet room and think... and that's when it all becomes clear.
