But when I do suffer from the occasional "inflammation" of the stymie gland, I find it useful to use soundtracks. Yes. Soundtracks. I make a soundtrack for every novel I write, often 30-40 songs, either chosen at random as I'm writing along or beforehand, as a kind of inspirational dirge for the process. It's easy. Spotify or iTunes have playlists. Use them. Flag scenes. Imagine your novel as a movie or television programme. Or an opera. An opera about athlete's foot...
