I'm getting frustrated and that never helps solve anything. Just thought I'd dump my problems here in a hopeful attempt to work it out.
Recently, I've been on a bad streak. I'll start writing a scene and halfway through writing, the scene withers and dies. So instead of struggling through I've been allowing myself to let these half-finished scenes go. I'll never finish the scene and instead jump right to the next chapter. This is a fine tactic every once in awhile, but I've done this four times in a row for the last four scenes. It's really becoming a problem.
I'm hacking at the fifth scene again today and guess what's happening? Uggg. I think I need to add a spicy side character to all these scenes to move them somewhere. Or maybe seriously examine the plot points of these scenes. Or add a frikkin dragon.
