Goodreads asked Sarah Freligh:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Sarah Freligh Writer's block is similar to the common cold--it's unavoidable and uncomfortable, but it often passes as quickly as it came. Ideas for poems, for stories or essays are everywhere, but sometimes I'm traveling too fast to truly appreciate these small seeds. So I'll try to disconnect myself from all things online and do something slow--knit or take a walk. Read some poetry or great, dense prose. 'll stay away from the computer and scribble some pages in my notebook until I get my energy back for the big stuff.
