Goodreads asked Russ Colchamiro:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Russ Colchamiro I'm a big self talker -- don't be surprised if you see me talking robustly to no one in particular. But it helps me think out why I'm stuck. My family is 'mostly used to it, but I've actually been stopped on the street before.

One time in particular that stands out ... about 15 years ago I was walking home from work, along the West Side of Manhattan. I'd had just the crappiest day and I needed to work it out. So there I am ranting and raving like the world's coming to an end, and a guy walking towards put his hands on my shoulders and said, "Dude. It's going to be okay."

It doesn't always look sane, but talking it out is my process.
