Goodreads asked M. Gaspary:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

M. Gaspary Writer's block is rooted in fear of failure. Judgments, criticisms, etc., are terms we likely hate to hear and receive from others. This fear may stem from childhood or develop through adulthood, however, it is the reason that paralyzes the creative freedom of writers, who cannot find their truths and respect their individualities.

Myself included. I'm a perfectionist and an overachiever. I know this so well.
