Goodreads asked Gloria Zachgo:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Gloria Zachgo It depends on how severe the affliction is. I’ve tried forcing myself to write anything that comes to mind, even if it’s garbage. Sometimes it will loosen up the thoughts, but it usually doesn’t work for me. Fortunately, I have no editor’s deadline to meet. So when I get terribly frustrated because the words won’t flow, I can walk away for a while. This leads to ideas popping into my mind in the most inconvenient places. Some chapters in my next book are written from numerous notes that are barely legible.
