If that doesn't work, then taking my mind off of the story by reading another author. My brain never really leaves the story I am writing and it will eventually find what it is looking for. The one thing that does not work ever is staring at a blank screen on the laptop.(less)
William West The satisfaction of creating something with words, something that did not exist before, much like a composer creates a score with musical notes.

Quotes by William West  (?)

“We come from different backgrounds. We are born into different worlds, different religions, different politics, different economic statuses, different races or combinations of races, but we are all the same. ”
William West, The Ascension of Mary

“Instinctively I had followed Mama’s caution against strangers, but she had also taught me to treat everyone the same no matter what or how different they were or what race they were. “These are only visible images,” Mama said, “like the colors and shapes of a painting. You need to look deeper to discover what the painting is about or how it affects you. It’s the same with people.”  ”
William West, The Ascension of Mary

“It’s funny how sometimes—and often enough to be a significant moment in my life, a conversation or a series of changes in my life led to one big moment—or the possibility of a big moment. ”
William West

“With so much beauty in the world, why do so many people chose hate as the easiest emotion to feel?”
William West, Evolution of a Young Man in Love

“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
Vincent Van Gogh
