Goodreads asked Lisa Dordal:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lisa Dordal Mostly by reading. Writing is the speaking part of a two-way conversation. The other part of the conversation is listening. Both parts are equally important. If I told myself that I had to get up every day and write, I might not ever get out of bed. But getting up to read is another thing altogether. And, more often than not, when I sit down to read poetry, I am inspired to write poetry.
