A writer’s warning system

Writer’s block is often just our instincts warning us thatwe’re headed down the wrong path.

When I get stuck on a particular scene, I can usually backtrack a little bit and find something that needs fixing. It might be that the entire scene is misguided and needs to be scrapped in favor of an alternative approach, or maybe some details need to be added earlier to solidify the scene and give it life.

But one way or another, I’m struggling with the scenebecause I’m realizing something isn’t quite right. Once I figure that out,everything starts flowing again.
