Steve Shahbazian answered Goodreads's question: How do you deal with writer’s block? There’s no one right way to deal with writer’s block. Sometimes there is a problem with the writing, which needs to be teased out; other times it’s a mental block, which is much harder to deal with.

Steve’s Quotes

“He looked back as they shepherded the children indoors, thinking of the cities with their walls, gatehouses, razor wire, shutters, barriers, alarms, security cameras and bulletproof screens; it was the architecture of siege, not harmony. Division was engraved in the landscape and fear expressed in physical form.”

“If you load oppositional words with negative connotations, then critical thought is stifled. If you load supportive words with positive connotations, then people can’t avoid thinking in the prescribed way.”
