Goodreads asked Shane Kuhn:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Shane Kuhn I am a visceral writer so I don't spend a lot of time intellectualizing my work. This is, I believe, the source of writer's block. Your mind can talk you out of anything good and talk you into anything bad. So, I turn off that internal voice and focus on what I feel. And I write without judgment. Whatever comes out is what ends up on the page, for better or for worse. So, I keep it all flowing like a geyser. And I rely on Sarah Knight, my fearless editor at Simon & Schuster, to assist me in shaping it into the best story possible. She went to Harvard and I played baseball at Utah so do the math on that collaboration.
