“Don’t try to force things. Take back your joy in writing by working on a brand new scene, even a new story, while the old one rests.

 

Or think about re-writing a favorite scene from a different character’s POV. Write the climactic final battle through the villain’s eyes, or let a minor character take charge of the big reveal. You get to see your world through different eyes, and you can relax and enjoy writing, knowing that what you put down doesn’t have to be perfect, just fun. You may even find that you like writing as this character.”
