Goodreads asked Holly Müller:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Holly Müller It is confidence-related, I'm sure, and often linked to perfectionism and unrealistic expectations of yourself. I keep a journal alongside any creative project where I jot down thoughts, research and information, reflect on books I'm reading, draft scenes and flesh our characters. In the journal, I include moaning or frustrated entries about how I can't seem to get writing today. From this, quite often I loosen up and begin to craft a scene. It is all about overcoming under-confidence and forcing oneself to begin. A useful piece of advice is that the enemy of the good book is the perfect book.
