I write when I feel inspired to, and when I am not feeling that desire then I do other things. I have roughly 40-50 stories that I am planning and scaffolding, so there are very few times I feel as though I cannot come up with something to write. If I ever end up struggling with a particular plot point or story line, the best thing to do is to not think about it. The right solution will come along eventually.(less)
