Goodreads asked Michele Callahan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michele Callahan My answer has changed over the last year. I've evolved. These days writer's block only happens to me when I don't know one of my characters well enough. They have a secret I don't know, or they don't want to do what I think they should. When I get writer's block I sit down with a notebook and create a "details" page about each of my characters and just start writing stuff down. History. Education. Parents. Dreams. Fears. Whatever pops into my head. They'll reveal something that will get my plot moving again. For me, it's the characters every time.
