Goodreads asked M.B. Strang:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

M.B. Strang I had a professor who said that writer's block is just refusal to write, but I always thought that was nonsense. Writer's block is not a stubborn refusal to write, but it can stem from a fear of being criticized. I recently read a piece in which the writer said that you have to really love writing and not see it as a chore. I found that to be helpful advice and now I look forward to writing. Also, I can't write if I'm stressed, so I do what I can to reduce stress, which is always easier said than done.
