Goodreads asked Michael Gailey:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Michael Gailey Back in my school days, my English courses required writing an essay every day of class. So, three years of daily, mandatory, timed essays had their effect on me -- thank you Mrs. Hamilton!

Sometimes I feel quite inspired and can even write while carrying on a conversation with someone on an unrelated topic (while excusing my self so not to appear rude -- I just need to finish this chapter!) Sometimes, I don't feel quite so inspired and slog through it. And sometimes, it's a chore that I force myself to do -- those times, I usually re-write later.
