If I don't know what to write next, it's because I haven't thought the story through. That's rarely a problem these days, because I now outline my novels before writing them. If it's Resistance, then I acknowledge that, breath, and get writing. Distractions are the hardest, especially the internet. Timed writing helps a a lot.(less)
