I cannot think of a specific scene right now, so my short answer is yes, this happens to me all the time. Usually I'm able to work through it and it turns out okay, though. I'm trying to think of a scene I had to scrap because it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted it to...

I am anal about that kind of stuff too, trying to be exciting but also realistic. I remember when I was writing one of the early chapters of Song for the Undead, I had two characters trapped in a car, surrounded by zombies, and I was going to have them crawl out of the moonroof. I started to write it, and then I was like, I wonder if they would really be able to get through the moonroof quickly enough to escape the zombies? So I drove out into the country late at night, parked my car alongside a cornfield, and climbed out my moonroof just to make sure it could be done LOL.
What's the weirdest/craziest thing you've done for the sake of a story?

WOW that's hardcore right there! I would have loved it if a policeman saw you and asked you what you were doing. "Well Officer...I'm practicing just in case a zombie attack were to happen and I had to escape out of my moon roof!" LMAO

LOL I know, right! That's why I made sure I did it late at night in the middle of nowhere, so no one would see me and be like, WTF?

I don't think I've ever done anything that crazy actually. I guess the most I do is say my dialogue out loud before I type it up so I'm sure my neighbors either think I have multiple personality disorder or think I'm talking on the phone to people who constantly get themselves into hot water!
Who is this Nick and why is he always getting kidnapped? LOL
RokofAges75:
^ LOL! Poor Nick. I will say dialogue out loud sometimes too, not all the time, but usually just when I'm trying to figure out if it sounds right or not.
If the car thing was my craziest, probably the weirdest thing I've done is when I was writing Broken, I would walk around my dorm room trying to imagine what it would be like to walk with a prosthetic leg so I could describe it from Nick's perspective. LOL Nowadays I could just watch a video, but this was back before YouTube was a thing.
