Goodreads asked Danie Markgraaff:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Danie Markgraaff The brain of a human being is wonderfully created. We have all grappled to get the old computer going, but it merely means that we haven’t organised it yet. Writer’s block is our struggle to focus. It has nothing to do with creativity. Creativity is your gift that finds its way in various forms into the hearts and minds of people. But the switch is in our brain.
If the switch doesn't flip into writing mode, we need to prompt it. I sometimes struggle because I am not focussed. One’s mind is thinking of too many things and not about the writing.
In the movie, ‘The Last Samurai,' the young Japanese Samurai archer said to Captain Aldren - ‘Too many minds. No mind. Too many minds.’ Think less and focus on what is at hand. Unless some evil force has stolen your creativity – which I do not believe is possible – Sit down with a nice cup of coffee and start typing. It really does not matter what you type, you can always come back and fix the stupid, incoherent brabble. The disjointed, rambling brabble is the plug in the brain, and as we allow the mind to work on what we write, it will flush out the fluff, and clean, pure creativity will flow onto the paper. How long does it take? I don’t know. For me, about twenty minutes or so, then I lose myself in storytelling.
Hope that helps. It is merely a matter of sitting down and write. The creative juices will eventually come. Don’t try too hard, just flow with what is in your heart.
