Goodreads asked S. Spencer Baker:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

S. Spencer Baker I use a jackhammer to reduce it to writer's rubble.

But what is writer's block? If it's lack of ideas then that's not a problem. Ideas form in shower-heads.

If it's lack of confidence and self-questioning, then I deal with it the way any sane person does: with copious amounts of alcohol, tears, cursing, skull-pounding, denial, pretence and psychotherapy. Is there another way?
