Goodreads asked Ken Capobianco:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ken Capobianco I've been a published writer for over 30 years, and I don't remember getting a serious case of writer's block. Once I sit down to write music criticism or fiction, I have a good idea what I'm going to say. The words usually pour out. Of course, I shape and edit, but editing is part of the writing process--probably the most important part. If I'm stumped for a few minutes, I take a short break to listen to music or go for a drive with Prince, Janelle Monae, Graham Parker or The Wu-Tang Clan on blast. Ta-da, I'm ready to write. Always sit down to write with something in your head, and try to write something. It may not be good, but you are on your way. Writing is a process.
