Goodreads asked Meredith Jaeger:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Meredith Jaeger Writer's block has never been a challenge for me. I'm always full of new ideas! I write all my books linearly, from beginning to end. The hard part is realizing aspects of the plot need to be changed, rewriting scenes or cutting them entirely, and rereading my words until I'm so sick of them I never want to see them again. I'm a plotter, so I know the major plot points ahead of time (inciting incident, midway, crisis, climax) usually jotting them down in graph form on a piece of paper. I don't always know how I'm going to get from point A to point B, but I know what they are, so I have a roadmap. This helps me fast draft. I can write a first draft in a few months time, but then I go back and revise, revise, revise! I also find that writing in a dual narrative format helps writer's block, because when I am bored of one character's story, I get to switch to the other character.
