How do you deal with writer’s block?

For example, if I'm too tired or too preoccupied with other things to focus on my writing (or my music), then I may need to address these causes directly. For example, I may need to try and get more sleep, or I may need to try and resolve any issues or problems that are distracting me. (Sometimes, a nice workout at the gym can also help if I'm feeling tired or stressed!)

If I am experiencing writer's block for no particular reason, then I may just have to acknowledge that it is not a good time for me to write in that moment, and I will then go on to something else more productive.

In general, I don't think it's a good (or productive) idea to try and "force" something out of yourself, as a writer, if you're not "feeling it" at the moment.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

For me, "A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race" was a labor of love that took three years of late nights and weekends to complete. (It was hard work, and took much longer to finish than I had initially estimated!) Once it was completed, however, I knew that this little evidence-based cancer prevention book had the power to save the lives of people around the world, by helping them to lower their cancer risk. Knowing that my book, like my practice as a Surgical Oncologist, could save lives was, by far, the best part of being the author of this book!
