Goodreads asked Jennifer Perrine:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jennifer Perrine Imagine it as a cube, a bar, a brick that you can twist and shift like a Tetrimino. Fiddle with the block as you fall down the well with it. Maybe you'll find a place where the block fits, becomes useful. Maybe it will pile up with other blocks until, game over, you realize it's time to start something new.

Or: Imagine it as a clog, a clot, a knotty bit of traffic on the road of writing. Use it as an excuse to stop driving yourself so hard, to get out of the car and take a walk. Remember the video for "Everybody Hurts"? Do that.
