Sarah (my Zumba Sarah) said: Walk away from it. Work in the garden. Do anything else. It will come.
Bill said: If it isn't working, throw it away.
I took both pieces of advice today. Spent the morning in the garden and talking to clients. Sat at my desk in the afternoon, opened the file marked "novel," and tossed the thwarting chapter to the other side of nowhere. Threw it away. Done. Gone. And guess what? The book is better for it. I (liberated) now move on.
