Goodreads asked Alicia Cook:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alicia Cook I don't write creatively when it doesn't flow naturally. yes, that can get frustrating BUT if I were to "force" my words, they would lose their sincerity - and that is what connects to my readers - the realness of what I am saying. To get the juices flowing I drive around and listen to MUSIC, a line or bass line will inspire me. There are times I am expected to deliver work though - for my full time job or a blog. When I am on a deadline and have to write something (vs. prose), I put on Christmas music - no matter the time of year - and I meet my deadline.
