Goodreads asked Sharon A. Mitchell:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sharon A. Mitchell I don't have writer's block. I work best under the pressure of deadlines, so I write my first drafts during NaNoWriMo or Camp WriMo. In case you're not familiar with it, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Every November, hundreds of thousands of people around the world sign up and commit to writing a 50,000 novel during that month. To complete the challenge in 30 days means writing about 1,700 words per day. That works for me. But, the editing process is MUCH slower and all NaNo gives me are the bare bones of s story that requires a lot more work.
