Goodreads asked Jean Constant:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jean Constant Writing is a massive challenge for me. Whereas as a visual artist, a white canvas is all I need to start new work, approaching a white page with a pencil is enough to freeze and block my every thoughts even before I even start. To compensate that serious handicap, I copiously fill pages and pages with volume of material written on the topic I’m working on. When ready, I get back into it like an editor, cutting, pasting, rearranging sentences until I find my own voice, my own rhythm.
