Ian M. Rogers
I tend to get relatively few good ideas, so those ideas I do get I guard closely and really work to develop. Ideas are precious!
On a micro level, if I'm stuck on a plot point or difficult problem in a draft, I try to write a temporary patchwork solution to keep myself moving forward, then keep it in the back of my mind. Over time, the ideal solution will almost always present itself, and this is part of the reason that time is so important for writers.
