Goodreads asked Nilotpal Roy:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Nilotpal Roy To me, this phrase has no meaning at all. It never happened to me. I write only when I feel like writing. Writing is a spontaneous act; and you can never initiate it forcibly. You must be self-taught before you try to write. Writer's block happens only to inferior writers, who are like those kids, that go to sit for the exam without even knowing the syllabus. You need to realize that here quality matters; quantity is insignificant. Writing is not trading, and literature is not commodity.
