Discussion: What do you do when you get stuck with a fic?

The monthly posts will be up sometime tomorrow as I'm still double checking all of the dates for March.

It's simply all about Wuthering Heights right now.

Super valid! Traveling is always 100000x more exhausting than it seems like it should be.

I actually! wrote!! today!!! Which brings me to a total of 11 days for the whole year.

whatever, it's early

I wish I could say I had a tried and true method for dealing with Stuck but it really depends on the fic and why I'm stuck. With this one, the only thing that got me sort of unstuck (not fully, because it's still not finished so Stuck is still very much here) is telling myself it doesn't have to be Fixed Yet, it just needs to Exist. That worked for 85 new words, so hopefully it will continue working.

It sure it and I was only a couple of hours away in a different part of the country too.

Yay!

I think everyone has their own ways of dealing with getting stuck. I often move away from what I'm stuck with then go back to it later and sometimes I just have to take a break for a day or so.
