Usually, its a block on a particular scene or some dialog. Work past it and keep going, and loop around later.

I just wrote a fairly critical scene in Book 2 on the 3rd rewrite. It took 4 months to figure it out.(less)

I hope you’re enjoying this year’s blog hop!

And if you happen to be in the Atlanta area this weekend, come on by and see me at Multiverse Convention!

On to Part III

Ryan lost himself as the woman said in a curious singsong voice, “You are new here.” 

“I – yes.” He fought to catch his breath. “I’m Ryan. Doyle. Ryan Doyle.”

“They call me Aubri.” She stroked his face with her long, tapered fingers. “

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
Rumi

Albert Einstein
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different.”
Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8, Vol. 1: The Long Way Home

Ray Bradbury
“He glanced back at the wall. How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know who reflected your own light to you? People were more often--he searched for a simile, found one in his work--torches, blazing away until they whiffed out. How rarely did other people's faces take of you and throw back to you your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought?”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Moby
“I had an epiphany a few years ago when I was out at a celebrity party and it suddenly dawned on me that I had yet to meet a celebrity who is as smart and interesting as any of my friends.”
Moby
