Goodreads asked Cherry Gilchrist:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cherry Gilchrist I'm not convinced it exists. I think we all go through cycles of energy, and the 'fallow' time can be when the unconscious is working on ideas - you just need to give them time to develop. Sooner or later, the impulse to begin writing springs up again. Having said that, it doesn't hurt to keep small writing tasks or exercises on the go, rather like keeping your muscles in trim ready for the next marathon.
