Goodreads asked Mary Davis:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mary Davis I allow myself to write poorly for a bit.
I just write. Anything.
Whether it's related to my current story or not.
This helps get the mental ink flowing, and ensures I don't just sit staring blankly at a screen. Sometimes it gets me back on track! And I whole-heartedly believe that there isn't any writing that is a waste - it doesn't matter if I actually use it in a story or not.
