Goodreads asked Ichabod Temperance:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Ichabod Temperance Writer's block?
Do you mean like a slate or blackboard?
Oh, wait, I know what you mean. I use a desk as my writing block.

Hunh?
Oh.
Miss Plumtartt says you are speaking of an obstacle to one's ability to write. I reckon if I ever ran into a writer's block, I would just go around it.

Hunh?
Oh.
Miss Plumtartt says I still ain't cognitizing y'alls' question properly.
Ma'am?
Oh.
Miss Plumtartt Ma'am says y'all are talking about not having an idea about what you should write. I heard tell that a writer ought to write about things he or she knows. That's why I write about the circumstances in which Isometimes find myself. I reckon when I stop running into rhino-sized prawn, Martian invaders, angry Egyptian Gods, Vampyres, Zombies, ghosts, and whatnot, I'll run out of material and then I'll leave y'all alone.
