Write your problem on a piece of paper, then nap (no kidding)

This is a trick I use when all else is lost. And it works. For real.

When I’m stuck and I’ve tried everything else, and nothing works, I write out my writing problem on a piece of paper and nap. 

Or I do this right before bedtime, hold what I wrote in my head while I fall asleep, and then usually in the morning I’ll have a solution. Or after the nap I’ll have a solution.

Now, I’m not the napping type, to those of you who can’t nap. As in, if I fall asleep in the middle of the day, I’ll sleep...
