Goodreads asked Sherry Rentschler:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sherry Rentschler I'm not sure I believe in writer's block. What stops me from writing is me. Sometimes I get insecure in my project and that fear can cause hesitation, or when it gets too severe, can paralyze a work in progress. I have learned that I have to trust myself and allow myself to just write. First get the words out. Then worry about polish and the fine points. To get the writing done, you must plop down in the chair and do it. No getting diverted. You give yourself permission and time to do the writing. For me, it is a must do thing, like breathing. So, there can be no block for me.
