ŷ asked Susan May:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Susan May I think writer's block is really about being stuck at a plot point where you usually know where you want to go but just can't work out how to get from A to B. I haven't really had this problem, even though I don't plot my books.

However, I did have a bit of a block with the book I am now working on, The Trouble's Keeper. So instead of panicking, I just leapt ahead to where I did know where I wanted to go. Problem was solved, because I then found out more about the character and the story, which gave me the information I needed to fill in the blocked bit.

I really believe that the creative muse alights upon those who are persistent and determined. Writer's block is all in your head (if you will excuse my wit.)
