Goodreads asked Dave Harris:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Dave Harris Practice--the right kind of practice--is my best answer for how to deal with writing block (though "writing block" is a terribly general description of a wide range of problems that all manifest with the same basic symptom--not writing, and not being able to write). The right kind of practices can help a writer become more comfortable in the writing process, which can alleviate many of the anxieties that can interfere with writing. And, as I suggested above, practice can help in finding inspiration, which is another cause of not writing/experiencing writing block.
