Goodreads asked M.P. MacDougall:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

M.P. MacDougall I read. I go from extreme writer's block to extreme productivity in bursts, and the only way I've found to make the productivity come sooner is to read a lot. Sometimes I'll get so dissatisfied with the quality of something I've read that I feel driven to write something better, and sometimes I get so inspired by something else that I want to try to write to that level. Reading is inspirational, whether the inspiration is negative or positive.
