Goodreads asked J.E.S. Hays:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

J.E.S. Hays I don't really get writer's block. I get writer's lethargy, where I don't WANT to write, but I see that as a different animal. I can always find something to work on, whether it's a nonfiction article, a short story, or another novel.

I do have to remind myself periodically that I CHOSE this profession, but that it IS a profession like any other. I have to report to work and put in my time if I want to get paid.
