Goodreads asked William Jack Sibley:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

William Jack Sibley
JUST KEEP WRITING. I ONLY HAVE DEEPLY PROFOUND "SERIOUS" INSPIRATION 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR. GOD GIVEN EVENTS! THE REST IS JUST SCREWING YOUR BUTT TO A CHAIR AND PLOWING THROUGH IT. IT'LL COME. AND TAKE TIME TO GO FOR A WALK, SWIM, LAY ON THE FLOOR STARING AT THE CEILING. IDEAS WILL DRIFT IN FROM THE ETHERS. (NOTHING IS HARDER THAN WRITING IN AN "EFFORTLESS, ENTERTAINING, WITTY" STYLE. GRUELING WORK HAVING TO APPEAR SO CLEVER.)
