Goodreads asked Doris Nickles:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Doris Nickles I like to go hiking to clear the clutter from my mind. I take my camera, and I take nature shots; sometimes, I paint, and I experiment with themes and imagination. I might write some theme ideas on paper, toss them in a hat, and draw them one at a time. I start by doing short stories. I will watch some movies I haven't seen but was interested in. Basically, I keep busy, keep my mind clear of worry, and take care of business. This year was riddled by medical issues that needed to be cared for. I also like to travel, and I did a lot of that this year. I like conversing with strangers. It's very interesting to get to know them.
