Goodreads asked David Finkel:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

David Finkel I just sit my butt down and do the work. I write -- junk if that's all that comes -- then I edit later.

Steve Pressfield's "The War of Art" was a great inspiration to me on this. He nailed it in words what i had been doing for years when i write -- I make the decision to write, even when I'm stuck or don't "feel" like it.

I may later have to toss what I wrote in a tough day at my keyboard, but i get my 1,500 words done on my writing days.
