I've had clear scenes, but not known other parts. Sometimes I write through them, but other times I mull them over until inspiration strikes.<br /><br />Right now, I'm working towards and end that's only partially developed. And I'm thinking something similar to your husband's advice.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-42057552727892616572011-03-25T16:58:34.766-05:002011-03-25T16:58:34.766-05:00Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know what to do? Plot getting bogged down? Bored? Stuck? KILL SOMEONE.<br /><br />I usually don't have enough main/supporting character types around to do that. So usually, it's a random person or I have to invent someone to kill.Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-47572344597259027122011-03-25T11:22:30.678-05:002011-03-25T11:22:30.678-05:00Your post made me think about all the Wolverine gi...Your post made me think about all the Wolverine girlfriends that have met with tragic and horrific deaths over the past 30 or so years. Jean Grey even died a few deaths. <br /><br />Whenever I'm stuck, I like to go for a long walk, listen to my IPod and try to empty my mind. Sometimes something will bubble up and if it doesn't - I'm usually too tired by the end of the walk to care. ;)Cynthia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595677706434920552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-59452714860478877922011-03-25T11:20:19.138-05:002011-03-25T11:20:19.138-05:00I think it's always hard to kill a character, ...I think it's always hard to kill a character, especially when you're grown fond of them...or you could be Suzanne Collins and just kill of those characters after we fall in love with them.<br /><br />When I get stuck I watch some TV or listen to music and hope that sparks a new scene. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.<br /><br />Good luck!Maganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045036129073244749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791084360727373309.post-72079189599563788232011-03-25T11:05:20.254-05:002011-03-25T11:05:20.254-05:00Believe it or not, one of my main strategies is to...Believe it or not, one of my main strategies is to talk about it with my husband! :-)Shannon O'Donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299313309059235876noreply@blogger.com
