Goodreads asked Ash Davidson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ash Davidson Good question. I’m not sure I’ve ever been dealt a proper bout of writer’s block, so I’ll have to get back to you on that. I have had times when I’ve struggled, especially in revision, to find a missing piece, or, in the case of DAMNATION SPRING, to find the right ending. I wrote five of them before I finally landed on the right one—sixth time a charm! I try not to panic. Even when I’m panicking, I keep showing up. I like to believe that some part of my brain is gnawing at the problem all the time, even when I’m washing the dishes, or walking the dog, or sleeping, and, eventually, it’ll find a solution. Sometimes it takes a long time.
