Goodreads asked Rachel Jackson:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rachel Jackson When I get stuck with writer's block, I come to one of two solutions: I either read, or I write. It might sound contradictory, but as long as I'm writing something I feel inspired, so it might not have to be a story, per se, but if I journal my thoughts out or write a letter to a friend or draw a silly comic strip, I feel way better. Failing that, I'll break out a good book to try to inspire me again — if the writer's block doesn't go away immediately, at least the reading will help calm me and make me not so annoyed that I can't write anything!
