Goodreads asked Heidi Baker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Heidi Baker I write whatever is in front of me as beautifully or simply as I can. Right now that would be our seventeen-year-old cat asleep on my legs. I would have moved by now, stretched, collected ripe tomatoes in the garden. Instead I eat handfuls of chocolate chips, sip warm decaf, listen to the first sounds of afternoon, and access the world from my dining room table.
