Goodreads asked Lillian White:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lillian White I am fortunate in that I do not have deadlines to meet, other than self-imposed ones. So, perhaps for me to answer this is a bit of a cheek! Speaking for myself, I don't view it as 'writer's block' as such, I simply think to myself 'Okay, I am not in the frame of mind to write today,' and I give myself a break. I think maybe it only becomes a problem if I stress over it too much. The more you worry, the harder it gets. Give yourself permission for some time off, if you can, relax and forget about it. It will come back to you - it always does.
