Goodreads asked Kenyatta A. C. Hinkle:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kenyatta A. C. Hinkle I often let ideas sit for years and tend to collect phrases and images that haunt and provoke me. I lean into the blockage by trying to get to the root of what I want to say that can't be expressed and often times I just make the work about that. Also, I listen to a whole lot of music from the African diaspora and I dance. I am a visual artist in addition to being a writer so often times I am able to switch to various disciplines and have them support one another. When my paintings stop speaking I turn to the words, when the words stop flowing I turn to dance and I continue to work the stories out of me pivoting back and forth throughout several modes of address.
