Goodreads asked Vivian Carpenter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Vivian Carpenter I go have a good time. I play golf. I dance. I travel. I cook. I enjoy my friends. I shop. But what I do most is research the question that is blocking my advancement. I clearly define my blocks and release them during mediation. I don't try to force things. I wait for things to be revealed to me. Maybe that's why it took me seven years to finish The Fufth Letter. So I had a lot of blocks along the way. Just keep writing.
Also I read a lot. Giving my brain more food for thought.
Then I just write whatever comes out.
