Goodreads asked I.J. Schecter:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I.J. Schecter I don't believe there is such a thing as writer's block. I believe there are practical distractions. I believe there are many excuses not to write. I believe there are many false things we can tell ourselves that sound like descriptions of what people may call writer's block. And I believe that we have many different moods, physical states, and energy levels that contribute to how well disposed we are to write at a given moment. But I don't believe there is any real syndrome that prevents us from writing at any moment that we wish to write.
