I accept it, pause, and explore what's going on: do I need to eat or otherwise take care of myself? Am I resistant to an emotion that's emerging with the writing? If I draw a blank there, I'm apt to walk or dance. I've never been stuck for too long.

I'm currently trying my hand at scriptwriting, as my husband is into narrative videos. It's a quite different writing experience, but because I've devoted much time in my past writing to dialect, inflection, and dialog, this is a promising undertaking.
