When I'm Stuck

     When I'm writing a manuscript and I get stuck and don't know which way the story should go.  I can remember going into panic mode.  After writing nine manuscripts, you would think I would be use to it.  Well, this is my story...

     "Will Elizabeth marry Peter?"
     "Should Elizabeth be in the story?"
     "When should the villain reveal himself?"
     "In the middle or towards the end of the story?"
     "Should there be a villain?"
     "Will Peter end up saving the day?"

     So many questions.  Most people would say "keep working, you don't want to lose any momentum you started with."  For me, I take a break!

     One day, while looking through a magazine. I don't remember which magazine it was.  I came across this saying "When you're stuck, take a break." Words to live by! I ended up cutting the saying out of my magazine and adding it to my Vision Board. It not only works when I'm writing, but if I'm going through other things that's going on in my day to day crazy life.


What are some of the things you do when you're stuck?
