I know, we're told as writers we should be doing it for ourselves, but it's hard not to enjoy the feeling when someone tells you they were moved, or impressed, or flat-out laughed.(less)

Okay, I suppose I should get serious. When I get stuck on a plot, and either have contradictions brewing or no idea where to go next, I try to make a series of short notes on what needs to happen eventually. Move them a round and look for a pattern. Which ones need to precede which, and which ones don’t work at all because those characters would never act that way. Sometimes scribbling on paper works better than typing, and sometimes forcing yourself to sit at the computer and “write anything at all” gets you thinking.
