Goodreads asked Stacy Barton:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Stacy Barton hmmm. i write about 30 hours a week. mostly because i entertainment scripts for a living for disney and seaworld etc... so i am always writing. when i sit down to work on my literary books it is usually with such gratefulness that i flood the page with something. basically i believe in natalie goldburg's phrase "go for the jugular." aka "just do it." i also believe that nothing is ever lost, if you write a gem that turns out to be a piece of coal...the gem that was within you will come out later on...somewhere. so there is never, ever anything lost in scratching on the page.
