Goodreads asked Scott Lothian:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Scott Lothian I just saw a meme that said “A writer is working while looking out a window.” For me, writing is not sitting down at 5 AM and banging on my keyboard. It is thinking about nothing and everything and then rolling “what ifs” and possibilities around in my head. I have decided on chapter directions while trying to sleep, while showering, while watching TV. I outline two chapters of my first book, Perfect Posture, in the margins of a program during a church service because the “writing” spirit was speaking to me loudly at the time. Relax. Outline. Fill in details as they come to you. Then when you have enough loaded up, explode onto the page and see what more comes to you as you write.
