Then when I wake up, I scold myself for being a slacker and I feel guilty. My husband says the only thing worse than a wife who is writing is one who is not.
Actually, I do four things. I try to figure out at what point I went astray. Maybe I can't come up with a solution to my character's problem. Maybe I've committed to a path that just doesn't feel right. Maybe I've had so much varying input from my critiquers I can't decide what direction to go.
Critiquers are wonderful, especially for brainstorming, but sometimes they muddle your mind. You have to take charge of your own book. I've never heard of a great book that was written by a committee.
After I figure out where I mucked up, the second thing I do is write a synopsis that tells the story the way that feels best to me. I need to make sure that all elements of the story fit together so I don't hit a dead end.
Then in step 3, I write through the blockage. I tell myself they're just words; they can be changed. I put my butt on the chair and keep working the problem. My biggest stumbling block is actually putting my butt on the chair.
After I see my way clear, the fourth thing I do is reward myself with chocolate. It cures most afflictions.(less)

From what I've gleaned from her novels, women don't have to do much except embroider and snag a man. Sounds perfect to me.(less)

“They're just words. They can be changed.”
Marjorie Reynolds

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.”
Ernest Hemingway
