Goodreads asked H Raven Rose:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

H Raven Rose I used to have severe writer's block... it took me 8+ years to write my first feature screenplay. Part of my undergraduate thesis in screenwriting, through my degree program at Lesley University, Cambridge, MA, required research, so I studied alternative and traditional story development techniques for screenwriters (in the context of hemispheres of the brain) and did research in which tools might facilitate word flow. Related to that, I discovered that many tools from expressive arts, shamanism, and spirituality, and depth-psychology transformation activities, including inner child work, sub-personality work, Dr. Lucia Capacchione's CJEA non-dominant hand journalling and drawing (I completed her CJEA training program in 2002), psychosynthesis, gestalt, and more, are useful tools to access, process, and release writer's blocks. So, although writer's block is rare for me now, I still use the same tools that have always worked for me.
