After everything we've been through?!<br /><br />On a more serious note, maybe take a break for a bit - do something mindless and let the problems stew on the back burner. Then come back to it with fresh eyes or at least a rested mind. :) Good luck!Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-52207935881024206972011-01-26T21:57:15.007-05:002011-01-26T21:57:15.007-05:00LOL!

No,I haven't had it happen near the end, but then I've only made to the end once out of, oh, say, 3 novel attempts...but trust me, I know all about character strike. I remember you telling me to ask my character some pertinent questions I was struggling w/ and voila! worked like a charm. Definitely have a sitdown :-)Sharmonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-62549550303427049182011-01-26T13:50:50.918-05:002011-01-26T13:50:50.918-05:00David,

Eventually I managed to get my characters to make it go away. <br /><br />I have no idea if you have done this yet, but have you checked if you let your characters act "in character"?<br /><br />I find that my flow gets shot to hell if I make them think and react out of character.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br /><br />:-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.com
