Goodreads asked Marcel M. du Plessis:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Marcel M. du Plessis Sit down. Nail myself down. Close videos and social media - I can learn about Napoleon's battle tactics another time. Open the document. Read the start of the chapter or section or wherever I left off - reading it out loud is best.

Soon, without me noticing, I'm 'hearing' the story. I'm adding a sentence here. Tightening a description there. Now I'm writing scenes and crafting dialogues.

What were you saying about writer's block?
