Has anyone else hit a wall yet or is that just me. It's like I was all fired up, got to writing and then was like .... bleh.
I finally kicked myself in the butt, grabbed a club and went hunting my damned plot, but it was hard work trying to work myself up to that point.
Anyone else having issues? What do you do to get that story rolling again?

Yeah the first day... i was frantic trying to get an idea of what to write. Then managed to bang out 1700+ words. I m still ahead but I feel another wall coming up. I m hoping tomorrow will be better.
To get rolling again I just said fook it and face rolled my story

I'm hanging on at the moment. I'm still stuck in the "what am I going to write tomorrow?" stage, but fortunately, each of my scenes so far have been "long enough."

Sometimes when I've lost momentum I pick a character and write a memory from that character's point-of-view. Then I might write the same memory from a different character's perspective. That usually energizes me and gives me new plot ideas.

That's an interesting idea I haven't thought of before. Awesome suggestion. I think I might use that since I'm stuck. Bleh. I'm trying to figure out how to handle the section of time that happens while my character is unconscious from a head trauma.
