Goodreads asked Rin Hoshigumo:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rin Hoshigumo I don't know if I've ever had this. The main difficulty with starting The Nighttide Of Summerlong (whose seed took root in my imagination in '89, when I was in the fifth form of my senior school) was finding the right place to start from. Because the ostensible starting point isn't necessarily the actual starting point. it's about finding the right vein of emotion from which to draw blood to animate the scene. Miss that vein and the scene will never come to life.
