Goodreads asked Sacha Jones:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sacha Jones I don't have writers block in a major way, but some days it feels like I've been flogging the same point, trying to get it right, without success. On those days I find it is beneficial to get up and take a walk. Do a Sudoku or another sort of puzzle. I have jigsaw-puzzle binges. I'm on one right now. Very therapeutic, finding piece after piece and seeing the image emerge. It's something I can control and achieve perfectly -- unlike with creative writing. For a perfectionist (most writers), that's healthy. A healthy kind of perfection.
