This week, I'm going to be passing along little tips and tricks I use to help me when I'm writing. Today, I'm going o address "Stuck in a WIP".
Okay, so I've written myself into a corner. I know where the story is going. It's just a matter of "What now?", and "How do I get from Point A to Point B?"
My solution is to put the WIP on the back burner and start fresh. Begin a new story, either by outlining it, making notes about it - whatever I need to prepare myself - and then get the first chapter or two out of the way.
By the time I'm that far along, my brain has been able to reboot itself, and I can come up with a solution to my orignal problem. That will lead me to finishing the book!
And the WIP I started? It can either be my next project, or it can rest happily in a folder until I can get back to it.
* WIP = Work in Progress
