Current mood: depressed

Half way through and utterly lost..
Day 16 and I am 9867 words behind.

I have tons of ideas and no idea at all about how to implement them.

Help?

Nin-- *urk*

*cough cough* all right, all right! I'll be good!

If you're stuck, do something else. No, not taking a break (although short breaks are acceptable)... Make a digression. Go somewhere else in the story. Flash back, foreshadow or introduce a whole new subplot. Maybe it won't work out. That's okay. Just keep writing.

Don't worry about making it all work out while you're writing. That's what NaNoEdMo is for. I know, I'm bad at this too, but to get the wordcount, you gotta keep writing.

Hunh, wish I'd seen this two days ago. *fails*

I'm not sure how to help specifically without more information? The advice in the above comment is very good; just get out of the scene for a while, do a scene from later on or something. I find that kind of... re-sets the brain, and it's much easier to go back to later.

If there's particulars that you want opinions on, I have lots of opinions to go around. Feel free to ask. ;)

You can do it! Rah rah rah!

Actually yes, there are particulars that I think you could be very helpful on.

How best to tackle? Filtered post?
