Preben Ormen
I step back mentally to understand why I am stuck. The most persistent problems are a) that I am lost in my own story or b) am missing a crucial bridge from one scene to the next or c) I just realized I wrote myself into an impossibility by doing something inconsistent with my story or characters.
Then I identify what I think I have to do to overcome the problem - most of the time it's just taking a deep breath and diving back in. I work hard to get in writing flow as soon as I am in front of my laptop. I have been writing on deadline for 40 years as a professional service provider (e.g., consultant) so am used to being under pressure and having to get unstuck.
