Goodreads asked Michelle R. Weise:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michelle R. Weise I don't ever think that what I put down on the page is golden. I've always had to revise, revise, revise to make anything worth reading. What this does is it lifts a lot of pressure off of me during the initial phases of writing because I know that sometimes, after writing extensively, the only thing worth keeping might be the last paragraph. And that's okay. I learned that lesson a long time ago when one of my favorite literature professors read through a 10-page paper of mine. When he reached the final paragraph, he tapped the page with his pen, and exclaimed, "Now this is interesting!"
