Goodreads asked Janet Racciato:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Janet Racciato There are times I can't stop writing, the words and ideas are stuck in my head nagging me to write them down. Other times I struggle to write. When I get writer's block I don't push it. I've found that if I just take a break, a few days or longer if needed, I'll get inspired again. The most important thing is to not worry about writer's block, stressing about not being able to write won't help the ideas come any quicker. Another thing that helps is to read what I've already written. This gives me a chance to edit my work, but it also gets my mind thinking about the story line and can give me ideas on what my story is missing.
