Outlander author Diana Gabaldon on her writing routine, from dealing with writer's block to what she drinks

From how she created the characters of Jamie and Claire, to why she chose to base the story in Scotland fans can't get enough.

Publisher of the Outlander books in the US, Penguin Random House, asked her several questions for their website to give readers a glimpse into the working habits of the PRH authors.

When asked about writer's block she reminded fans that her life was so hectic in the early stages of the books, with two full-time jobs and three kids under the age of six that she had no time for not being able to write anything. She simply had to get it done if she wanted to get paid.
This has meant she has developed several coping mechanisms.
She wrote: "Consequently, I just learned to work on multiple projects at once. When one 'sticks' (and they all do, now and then), I just switch to another that seems easier at the moment, and work 'til that one sticks—then switch back, and—if the first piece was still stuck, start another scene."
She added that there is plenty of housekeeping such as interviews,
