Goodreads asked Elodie Colt:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Elodie Colt That depends how you define "writer's block". If it means having no idea how to start a book and needing days to write the first sentence, then I can say this is something I didn't have to deal with yet, thankfully. But there are always situations where you don't know how to go on with your book as you have difficulties putting one action and the next together. The best way for me is to sit down in my living room, close my eyes while there's nothing but silence surrounding me, and reply the possibilities through my mind over and over. Eventually, a solution pops up in my head. The good thing about being a writer is, you're always spinning fantasies in your head, no matter what you do, even when you go to sleep. I tend to go over my stories the half an hour it takes for me to drive to work. I also had some striking ideas under the shower.
