I'll skip past the scene I'm stuck on, and write the one for later in the story. Then I'll try to fill in the rest in between.

When I was writing my first book, "Old Wave," I got a terrible case of writer's block for about three weeks. Out of desperation, I dug into an old folder of comedy sketches I had written many years before, and found one that I realized I could re-shape and fit it into "Old Wave." At least it was something to work on and help me progress. After I added that scene, getting back to the rest of the story was a lot easier. (less)
