Goodreads asked Anne Padgett:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Anne Padgett Writer's block can only be conquered by writing. I force myself to write-- aimless sentences at first. This is a log jam that must be forced by getting the water flowing again. We get blocked because we are thinking too hard or trying to be too clever. A great teacher told me that there was no such thing as good writing just good re-writing. So I start writing and stop judging. Soon the block is gone.
