Goodreads asked Gloria Herrmann:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Gloria Herrmann Some writer's are brave enough to admit they get the dreaded "writer's block" and it does happen. For the most part the problem I'm having is too many stories are cropping up and begging to be told. But I have had my case of the block, and I found that usually reading was an instant cure, it inspired me, challenged me to create a better story than the one I had just read. Movies are great to show a visual of a story and can help. Ultimately, if a writer catches that nasty writer's block, the best thing to do is be patient, if you are a writer, you will write again!
