Goodreads asked Kristina Smeriglio:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Kristina Smeriglio When dealing with writer's block, I first aim to identify what's holding my voice back. So, I start by allowing my thoughts to come through via dictation, welcoming whatever thoughts wish to come through at that moment regardless of what I'm working on. Oftentimes, processing my thoughts and feelings, and recording that process, allows me to see what's been beneath the surface and in the way. Morning pages help with this as well. When taking the pressure off of writing something specific, and just allowing myself to write or voice whatever comes to mind, the block is easily removed.
