Goodreads asked Della Van Hise:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Della Van Hise Meditation. If I'm struggling with writer's block, I'll often sit up in bed, either late at night or upon first waking up in the morning, and focus on the thingsw I WANT to write. Sort of like giving myself a pep talk. If that doesn't work (though it usually does, over a period of a few days at most), I will sometimes force myself to go to the computer, read through whatever project I'm working on, and then just put down one more sentence. When I can do that, it usually breaks through the blockage.
