Goodreads asked Mary E. Martin:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Mary E. Martin If the muse has fled, there's only one thing to do. For me, it's to stop trying so hard to coax him/her/it back. Relax and do something else because whatever words or ideas you force are usually poor and uninspired. Let the muse return with soft words.
