The answer was to generalise the characters e.g. Pirate princess seeks to deliver object from dying white knight, Pirate prince usurps the kingdom and sets it on a course to destruction. By thinking of the story and characters in this very basic one-dimensional way, I was able to step back from the characters and plot the story.

Other ideas: go for a walk / swim. Write something else. (less)

In Worldbuilding, What is Steampunk?

Good question, difficult answer.

Steampunk in fiction, is an aesthetic; in exactly the same way that a Western is an aesthetic – a look and feel that permeates the very fabric of your story.
