Stuck.

I do believe that I am stuck. I feel like my writing has been a bit clunky lately, does anyone have any tips on how to get the flow going again?

If you normally write on the computer, try writing by hand or vice versa. I find that helps me get the words flowing. Also, write any old crap even if you think it won't make it into your final piece. You might find that it will works its way into great writing without you know it.

Write a brand new chunk, and don't worry if it doesn't flow straight on from where you are at now. Give yourself a treat, drafting a bit you're really looking forward to. It might re-start the engines.
