Goodreads asked Paul MacAlindin:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Paul MacAlindin If the voice inside me is being fed enough with details, facts, feelings, reflections, then the words will pour out. What matters is that you keep feeding yourself with inspiration, and if you really are an artist, you will transform it all in your gut and, like indigestion, it bubbles up to the surface to demand your attention. Starving artist syndrome is so unnecessary. The art of entering deep concentration to work must be accompanied by the art of returning safely to the surface, perhaps in a different place from where you dived in, but nevertheless ready to live life and nourish yourself again.
