Goodreads asked Jae Holt:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jae Holt Hmm, how do I deal with writer's block? Well, first I ask the question. "What am I trying to do?" If I can't answer that in five minutes, I walk away and do something else (like clean my kitchen). After about an hour, something will eventually come to me and I can come back to the question and answer it through writing. Sometimes, I get really stuck and that's when free-writing comes in handy. I will sit down with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil and just write random sentences. After an hour of this, I read what I've written and let it inspire me!
