I've had it happen a few times and it's a nightmare!!
It's usually because the story I've written isn't the one that needs to be told. Quite often, my characters completely shut down in talking to me and it takes a while for me to realise why!
A walk outside, doing a completely different activity, just taking a break can sometimes blow the fog away and help to organise what is happening and focus on where to go next.
Other times, reading a favourite book, or anything by some of my favourite authors help me to refocus. When I read their words, marvel in their writing and immerse myself in another world, it makes me creative and feel inspired to do better in my own.
