Goodreads asked Laurie McCammon:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Laurie McCammon I've learned to yield to writer's block without self-imposing an additional layer of shame and self-judgment. I simply affirm that I am enough but that this may not be the day or the week or month to write. I do something nurturing for myself instead, filling up my well or attending to something else in my life. This gets me out of my head and into my heart - the place where my writing (when it is good) always comes from. Inspiration will always bob to the surface eventually. And sometimes you have to wait for all the pieces to come together in the subtle or subconscious realms for a bit longer. So developing patience and trust was certainly also a key for me.
