Goodreads asked Deon Ashleigh:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Deon Ashleigh I'm grateful to be a writer that doesn't get writer's block often. When writing, videos play in my mind. They can be about anything. I'm able to rewind or fast-forward these videos, to some extent, and then write down the descriptions. Emotions, dialogue, etc.

Once in a while, when the blank page looks particularly daunting, I listen for the voice of a character. Just one sentence in that voice can kickstart a video.

My writer's block is usually for a word, rather than a story. At this time, I type CHECK and hiss. I try to keep going, but I'm not always successful. The right word haunts me, sometimes. :)
