Goodreads asked Frank Morelli:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Frank Morelli I forced myself to stop believing in the concept of writer’s block. When you get to the point where you have deadlines to meet, whether self-imposed or thrust upon you by an editor, there’s really no time for writer’s block. It's not like you can’t sit around sipping drinks and waiting for inspiration if you ever want to finish something as complicated as a novel. You have to drop your butt in the chair everyday and write, even when it feels like all you’re doing is splattering gibberish on the page. Some of my best writing has come in these moments, and it made me realize writer’s block only happens when I'm actively fighting against myself. When this happens in a baseball game, a coach would tell his hitter, “You’re gripping the bat too hard.” When it happens to a writer, the writer has become the hitter and the coach.
