Goodreads asked Maria Akhanji:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Maria Akhanji Almost a decade ago, I went through a phase where some of my reviewers told me that it seemed like I had merged two books into one! I had already written over 63k words and writer's block - the size of a boulder - (being metaphorical here!) dropped on me! For almost 2 years I stopped writing. Then my circumstances put me in my writer shoes again. I had to cut and paste various parts which eventually became the first and second book of the trilogy...(Yeah this is the point in time when I realised that this was a far bigger project than I had imagined.)
