getting from point A to point B

Go for a ride.

When I'm plotting the next moves in my screenplays, I either go for a long ride to somewhere less traveled, or a long walk by the shoreline and just let my mind wonder. Music seems to set my mood, ole time rock'n roll for action scenes.

Could you work on another area of the script instead? Develop your other characters? While doing so, it could spark off other ideas and before you know it -- Jill is introduced by the blonde boy suffering from amnesia. If you know what I mean.

Close your eyes and watch your movie play out. Write down what you see. If you see it playing out ten different ways, write them all down. Don't worry if it's good...you can change it later.

I would begin writing C, what is taking place there usually dictates what MUST have happened between A and B.

Hey, look what you did to my car!

Seek the solution within the problem. Road blocks are sometimes caused by auto accidents. Maybe Jill can dent the back of Bob's beloved classic 1957 Chevrolet. Or whatever meeting scenario fits.

Yep, you got it I.

Your brain can lock up on you.
Often it just needs a little distance from the problem.
Go do something else and just let your brain work through the problem on it's own and pretty soon the fix will just pop in there.

Another thing to do is just go ahead and write anything.
Maybe you have an idea that you know isn't what you really want but at least it is something. Start writing it.
Get the junk out of your head. Perhaps there may be something there that you will discover is useful or it just might clear out the blockage.
You can always come along and cut it out.

I also liked the suggestion of moving on to the next scene. If you know what has to happen several scenes later then write that and then comeback and set it up to happen.
