Goodreads asked Alice Sherman Simpson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Alice Sherman Simpson Fortunately, when it comes to writing, I have no problem getting to work—it's what I love to do. The jangle in my head, the constant conversations of shoulds, should-haves, whys, and what-ifs disappear— it’s just character and story, shape and form, light and dark.

Before BALLROOM, I was a graphic designer, illustrator, then made hand-painted artist books and worked in clay—each with a disciplined work ethic. It’s about the challenge of problem solving and process.

Judgement comes later but in the precious hours of ‘making’ things, 'self' disappears into a divine space of hand and eye.
