Hi Judy -- Agree with you on your definition of writer's block. Every time I hit a wall in writing a chapter or scene, it's because there is something fundamentally wrong with it. Sometimes switching POV helps, sometimes rethinking the whole set-up for the scene helps, and sometimes deciding it really doesn't need to be in the book at all is the solution. Of course, it took a while to learn to listen to what writer's block was telling me!
Thanks for commenting, Donna. I agree with all your possible solutions. The hardest one is knowing you've written pages and pages that just don't belong in your story!
