Goodreads asked Heidi Mastrogiovanni:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Heidi Mastrogiovanni I remind myself of Anne Lamott's excellent advice in her superb book, "Bird by Bird." She tells of having a blank one-inch frame on her desk. On days when she doesn't feel like getting to work, she tells herself that at least she can sit down and produce enough words to fill a one-inch square. And by the time she gets the square filled, she's usually in the right frame of mind to continue writing for the rest of the day.
