Goodreads asked Barbara Gregorich:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Barbara Gregorich I almost never have what's termed "writer's block" — not able to think of what to write next, or having trouble with how I should proceed with the book. For one thing, I have more book ideas than I'll ever be able to turn into books, so the problem of what to write next doesn't exist. On occasion I do have trouble figuring out how to proceed with a book. What I do then is start writing (by hand, on a tablet) possible approaches to the book. This type of thinking is usually stimulating: it allows me to see possible approaches to a book. Within a very short period of time, say one day to one week, I end up choosing one approach over all the others. And then I start to write.
