Goodreads asked A.F.E. Smith:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

A.F.E. Smith I don't. We are locked in a relentless struggle that will last until one of us dies.

Sometimes I manage to sneak up on it and get in a few hundred words while its back is turned. Sometimes I think it's gone and then it grabs my ankle as I sit down at my computer.

Unfortunately, rather like Ged of Earthsea fame, I carry my nemesis within me and it will not be vanquished until I accept it as the shadow-half of myself.
