Goodreads asked Joanne Leedom-Ackerman:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Joanne Leedom-Ackerman By writing. Anything. Just get the words flowing, be it a letter to a friend/parent/spouse or letter to the editor. Or just free association of words and ideas. Don’t worry who will read what you’re writing, just get words and ideas moving. I have rarely experienced writer’s block, but I do know the hesitation when starting a new project, the challenge to get it started. It’s rather like standing at the edge of a pool which you know is going to be cold, at least until you start swimming. The key is to plunge and start swimming!
