Goodreads asked Rachel Louise Snyder:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Rachel Louise Snyder I don't really get writer's block; I get writer's scheduling problems, which is that there's never enough time to write. But I tell my students, if they are blocked, to write about what is in front of them, or to their left... what's on their desk, on the walls around them, and why? What we choose to surround ourselves with usually has some meaning for us, some story behind it all... you dig yourself deeper into that magical, creative cave.
