Getting stuck in your writing doesn’t mean you’ve got writer’s block.
At some point, we all hit a wall in our writing. We get stuck, we don’t know what happens next, maybe we know where we need to go, but not sure how to get there.
Hitting a wall can freak us out and make us panic, because it feels a lot like writer’s block. We get stuck and fear the words won’t come anymore, and struggle to get anything down, and nothing works. But most of the time, we’re not blocked at all–it’s just our subconscious telling us we’re missing something we need to move forward.
Next time you hit a writing wall, take a deep breath, step back, and diagnose what the problem might be:

Interesting how styles of writing differ. Mine is to read myself back into the story, and then just write. The characters and situations dictate the developments after that, and I simply record them. Often with surprise at twists that occur.

If I hit a wall in my story, I stop working on it and do something else. After a few days I go back with fresh eyes. I once filed a story and forgot all about the last version I did on it. When I returned to writing it, I remembered the 2.0 version and ideas started to flow because it seemed to be a new WIP instead of the one I got stuck on.
