If I get stuck while working on a story, I go back to the beginning and read/revise what I've already written this usually solves it. Sometimes I'll skip to a part I see more clearly. For example in "Solace: Lost" I couldn't see a pivotal scene near the end, but I knew the ending so I skipped ahead and wrote what I knew was going to happen. Then I kept reading over what I had written. It ended up that I had to play some head-banging music(Godsmack, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine...) to write the scene. A lot of times, I jump to a different story entirely and work on that until the voices for the previous book get "loud" enough for me to see what happens next.
