I've just actually deleted the chapter of Rewind I just wrote, I didn't like it, even though I spent ages writing it! So I ended up churning out another chapter of my Nick romance instead, lol.
FrickingKaos:
I think you're on to something with that idea, Steph! I will see if I can work with any of it! Thanks ladies! I guess maybe since I been sick my thoughts are clogged up, hopefully I can work something out.
Carter-Orange:
Hope you feel better soon and work out the story :)
I'll tell you my problem today...the kids keep distracting me! Maybe when they've gone to bed I'll be able to make some progress.

When I get frustrated and can't write. I will put music on and just write. Sometimes I line in a song will jump out at me and take me where I know I need to go. The great thing is it usually comes from a song I never thought would give me a great idea. Like sometimes a line in a Broadway showtune will get me thinking and wow I have a place to start.
Freewriting is also a good idea for getting thoughts out about what you want to write. Take 5 or 10 minutes and write about what you want to happen in the chapter. The thing is you can't stop writing. Anything that pops in your head goes on the paper. When you are done, you can look back and take the parts that you know will fit they way you want. I did this a lot in high school.

@Steph & Mare:
I'm so jealous that you guys can delete your writing! One of my big problems is that once I think of a passage, I hate to delete it. A lot of the time, I'll copy-paste it to the very bottom of the word document to save it for later >_< That's how I am in real life too, a total pack rat who hates to throw anything away.
At the moment, I'm having some trouble with an extended dialog/fight scene. I can't tell if the pace of the argument is progressing naturally or if Nick and Carla's emotions are too sudden. I think I need to find some barbie dolls to make them act out the scene for me!
