R.B. Thurman
Mostly time. Thinking, rethinking, questioning what was written prior. Then, seeing if there is a better alternative, or a small adjustment that can allow the story to move forward.
When I had this, another thing that helped (though, I wouldn’t recommend), was simply starting over. I started again, without reading the original, and wrote what I thought the story would be. When I later compared the new start with the existing book, the variations actually fixed the block, and the story restarted in a better direction.
