Goodreads asked L.T. Graham:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

L.T. Graham Be willing to write for the wastepaper basket. What I mean, is don't create the block by believing you have to write every line as a classic for the ages. Write for yourself. Write what you feel at the moment. Be willing to write junk if you have to, you can always change it later or simply toss it out. If you're a writer it's about the writing. The rest will take care of itself. Force yourself to sit there and simply get that pen moving. If all else fails, read Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way.
