Goodreads asked Jennifer Egan:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Jennifer Egan I try to allow myself to write badly, and congratulate myself on doing so--rather than not write at all. It's much easier to fix lousy work than to create good work out of thin air. If writing required the latter, I would be a doctor today.

I read Look at Me in 2010 and it seemed like your 2002 self grasped into the future. I loved this book so much. I’ve loved all your books, but that first one really stayed with me. Is it just me or did it seem so prescient looking back on it now? Your writing is just so good!
