Goodreads asked Adriana Trigiani:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Adriana Trigiani I don't believe in it- so I haven't experienced it. I think that what some writers call writer's block is just an idea that hasn't cooked yet. Get up from the chair and stay away until you have decided what it is you are trying to say. Sometimes it helps to write in another form- a poem, automatic writing as in journaling- a letter you will never send- that sort of thing. Sometimes it really helps to sleep for a few minutes- I lie down on the office floor and snooze until my subconscious figures out how to get me back on the storytelling track.
