Goodreads asked Nicholas D. Kristof:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nicholas D. Kristof I start typing.
Seriously, I get distracted all the time and go off to Twitter or Facebook. But when I finally feel I have to get started (maybe because of a looming deadline), then I just start typing. If what I write is dreadful, then I revise later. But it inevitably helps to get started and write something, even if it's completely wrong.

Kayla asked Nicholas D. Kristof:

I've started reading A Path Appears-and while I haven't finished it yet- I think the comparison of non-profit employee pay to for-profit is an excellent point. I agree that better employee benefits would attract talented professionals for the longer term and operating similar to a for-profit may lead to greater success. What steps do you think need to be taken to change the perception of how funds should be allocated?
