Goodreads asked Sara Zarr:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sara Zarr For me, "writer's block" is usually some combination of fear, resistance, procrastination...just basic avoidance of discomfort. Getting started on a writing session is ALWAYS discomfortable. That is not a word, but I like it. So I just remind myself it's always hard to start writing cold, accept the discomfort, and try to warm up. Which could mean reading what I've already written on the book, looking at notes, or doing a simple writing warmup. (Like writing down every word I can think of that starts with the letter G, for example.)
