Goodreads asked Daniel James:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Daniel James Cry, whinge and screen phone calls until I reclaim my tattered self-worth up from the floor. That's probably not very helpful, so...just stop stressing, try to get out of your own way, and start typing something! If it's a barely glimpsed idea or a vague interest you're toying with, just have a crack at writing a few rough pages and it might begin to take some basic shape. And if it sucks, don't worry, just keep churning the old grey matter until something bobs to the surface.
