Goodreads asked Karin Shah:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Karin Shah I don’t. Not that I don’t get writer’s block, just that I don’t deal with it very well. I never have an absolute block, but I usually find other things (like laundry) more important when I’m struggling. I used to blame myself for procrastinating, but then I realized blame wasn’t making this better. For me, if I’m struggling, it’s usually because of self doubt, so I work on a project that doesn’t matter as much to me, to try and shut off the internal editor. And in the dining process, I focus on a particular goal, like adding more emotion.
