The way I deal with it is to take a break and do something else. While I'm doing other things my mind will continue to work through the plot and characters until a solution comes to me. I'll go for walks, take a bike ride, go shopping, watch a movie, and sometimes my break is more than a few hours, it can be for days or weeks. Regardless of how much time I take or what I do during that time, a solution always comes to me. (less)
