Like painting yourself into a corner – but with words Has this ever happened to you? You were writing, chugging away, words flowing and the story nicely coming along. And then, suddenly, you found yourself stuck. It hadn’t worked quite as you thought it would. Characters and situations are in a bind and you have no idea where to go next.
