Goodreads asked Victor Shamas:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Victor Shamas Writer's block is not something I experience. Three times a day, I take a timeout from what I am doing to lie in Repose. This heightens my receptivity in ways that allow for the flow of creative ideas. I think the most effective way to deal with writer's block is to prevent it in the first place. Writing, like all creative experiences, is a dynamic interplay of total receptivity and total focus. For me, it has simply been a matter of understanding my own rhythms. Mornings are my preferred writing times because I wake up in an extremely receptive state, with an open mind and an open heart. That is when my writing just flows most naturally and effortlessly.
