Goodreads asked Sheryl Parbhoo:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sheryl Parbhoo Writer's block is that seductive voice inside me, whispering, " This blank page is not worthy of you. Go to Target. You need shampoo. And while you're at it, go for a run outside. And then clean the bathroom, And then email your editor and text every friend you have in your contacts, just to say hi."

So, I put my phone and car keys in another room, disable wifi on my laptop, schedule my cleaning lady to clean the bathroom, and give myself a set time to write before I can get up from my desk. Every time I put myself in this "writing time-out," I end up in the zone and get a lot accomplished!
