Luckily I've never had what is typically described as being "writer's block", i.e. an inability to to think of what to write.
I've certainly found it difficult to decide how to proceed with a passage or conversation, or had the grind of the last few chapters that I didn't have the instant urge to work on at the start of the project (I write out of order FYI).
When I get this, I take a day or two off writing and do other things to take my mind off it. When I return to my laptop I find I can think more clearly and either have a solution, or realise that the problem was never that big in the first place.(less)

All those ideas are now laid down and out of my mind. I don't have to try and remember them all and how they fit together any more.
It's a great feeling, until I realise all I've done is make space for another lot of ideas to gather like randomly stacked newspapers, waiting for me to sort them out :((less)

My Prototypes: Clones Game

Editor shot of the prototype level, with interactive elements and the player character. It’s actually 3D!

Another prototype I’ve worked on recently is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer, the central conceit being you are able to create life-limited clones of yourself to perform helpful tasks in areas you can’t reach. During gameplay you can switch control between your ‘original’ self and any of
