Goodreads asked Jane Harrigan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jane Harrigan If I have writer's block I don't force my self to go to my desk to try to write which I know a lot of people do. I simply wait until the inspiration returns. This may mean I have long barren periods, but when I do write I am lucky to be quite prolific. I treat writer's block in the same way I do my occasional insomnia. I never stay in bed and try to force myself to sleep as I find it counter productive. Instead, I simply accept the fact that I can't sleep, know it can't last forever, and get up and do something else.
