Stephanie May
I push through and write what I feel is most correct at that given time. If it's too big, I'll go for a walk, drive around for a while, or even take a five-minute break and go outside to clear my mind.
When I am ready to tackle the issue again, I read the few chapters previous to where I am at, to see if I can pick up on clues to further the storyline. Worst-case scenario, I write whatever it is in my mind, and persist with the rest of the novel.
When I have completed writing the whole draft, I will pick up on clues either before or after the block of text where I rambled through, and I'll always pick up ways to render the problem.
The greatest thing about being the author is that nothing is set in stone; there is a backspace option, and no-one will ever know!
