I churn along writing until I hit a certain point in the story where the ideas stagnate. I have to make myself push past those points. Sometimes I skip over them, move on to a more exciting part of the story I know is coming up, and later I'll return to those plateaus. Currently, I'm trying to employ James Scott Bell's writing method and compose my work-in-progress from the middle of the novel. (less)
