I actually made a blog post on this recently, Goodreads! Luckily, there are plenty of techniques for figuring out where to go with a misbehaving plot. Just a quick sampling of some techniques I’ve used in the past (with varying degrees of success):
- Writing down the problem before bed and hoping I dream up a solution
- Treadmill time + the novel’s playlist
- Staring out a window
- Acting out a potential scene as the protagonist
- Having a conversation with the protagonist and asking them what they want to do next
- Procrastinating on Pinterest
- Going for a walk
- Giving up and watching Adventure Time for the rest of the day
And on and on. You can read the whole blog post I wrote on writer's block here: http://staceytiannahunt.blogspot.com/...
