i try and plot my way through - usually I have several chapters ahead of me to write - so If I'm on chapter 5 and I come to a natural end (it always seems to feel right when that happens) - If I haven't already plotted say 5-10 chapters hence - I will do it then in the moment while all your juices are flowing - just 2 or 3 lines of text as your base for each of the next few chapters so help
