Goodreads asked Elizabeth Whitton:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Elizabeth Whitton I had my first writer's block a couple of weeks ago. I'd written for years and never encountered one, so I was surprised! I had just won a major writing award and felt keen pressure to live up to it. In the end, I realized I was demanding perfection of myself. As soon as I realized this, I laughed. I've never been a perfect writer so why would I expect things to change now? The writer's block vanished, and I could write again.
