Goodreads asked Nancy Freund:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nancy Freund Write through it. Write stuff and nonsense, repetitions, song lyrics, head-clearing records of the day's activities, conversations you've had, conversations as you wished you had them, all that stuff again, but for your protagonist. Tell yourself you are practicing your keyboarding skills or enjoying your new fountain pen. None of those exercises is a waste of time. Good stuff surfaces. Own some really big file cabinets.
