Have one of them get hit by a meteor or find a gold sepulcher or be visited by an alien (foreign or ET) or whatever. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to *be*! ;) You can fix it later.<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20442270.post-1993426287877182862011-11-02T22:22:14.893-07:002011-11-02T22:22:14.893-07:00* You wrote words +

If nothing else, perhaps looking back over your prelim work and fleshing out a character or place that will be described later in the work and using it as a jumping off point might help - something that you are able to visualize, even if it falls at the end of the novel...I know for me sometimes that will give me a bump forward. Or rail at the computer if you are prone to that. I find sometimes that works exceptionally well sometimes.
