Goodreads asked Caroline Allen:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Caroline Allen Besides being a novelist, I'm a book coach, and have dealt with understanding and moving through writer's block on many levels for two decades. The block is almost always psychological. What about this story or this chapter is triggering me? You just have to sit with it, be honest with yourself, and move through the fear. I actually do not call it "writer's block" anymore. Instead, I think of times of lower or no productivity as a gestational period of understanding and growth.
