Goodreads asked F. Kennerly Clay:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

F. Kennerly Clay I once had such writer's block it felt like something "closing in" on me, becoming more and more restrictive. I was tormented for weeks and finally decided to book a solo trip to a writer's retreat house in Maine. Just being there in that peaceful, quiet, creative place--outside of my my own space--made the difference. First I started just journaling, getting it all down without self-critique/criticism. Soon enough I wrote an intro to an article and things started to flow again.
