Goodreads asked S.J. Howarth:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S.J. Howarth Honestly? I write a poem about the frustrations of writer's block! If that doesn't work, I have favourite authors I will return to again and again...reading Richard Brautigan clears writer's block much of the time, or Charles de Lint, sometimes Anais Nin, Dylan Thomas, Halldor Laxness or P.D. Ouspensky's Strange Life of Ivan Osokin. Find the writer's that you love, who fire you up. Trust it will return - if you've written before, words you're proud of, or words that move you, it will return!
