Goodreads asked Cynthia A. Clement:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Cynthia A. Clement Writer's block is difficult because it usually happens when I allow negatives to interfere with my writing. These come from my inner critic, family, friends, or just life in general. The most important thing to overcoming the block is to turn off my inner critic and allow myself to hear the story. Then it's a matter of sitting down and getting that story on the page. I find that positive affirmations,timed writing, word goals, and resisting the urge to edit as I write, are the most effective way to jumpstart my writing.
