Goodreads asked Sarah Broughton:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sarah Broughton With difficulty.... Some days you realise it's a hopeless cause and you just waste time around the edges not achieving anything - but instead of getting annoyed with myself I try and find inspiration by going to see a film or reading a chunk of an author I really admire or an article by someone I respect. And I look at art - photographs - drawings - paintings - sometimes working out how an artist created a work of art helps me to puzzle my way out of my own block. And when all else fails I just read back through what I've done, find a piece of it I like and try and re-engage myself.
