Don't you hate it when you get really far into something and then get stuck? Or even if you just start it and it isn't adding up. Here is where you can post your dilemma and we will all try to help work it out.

You probably can't help me because it's more a matter of me having motivation, but I felt the need to post here anyway...I'm stuck on page 10 of Shrouded Jewels...trying to edit it. (There are currently 200 pages.) Davey just showed up at Mical's and Mical is naturally being a sourpuss....yup. If y'all have ideas of how I could force myself to be motivated while working on the computer, that'd be nice...

I'm not stuck either but I'm with you on needing motivation Ella.

Okay...so I'm editing my book and I'm kinda stuck on this one point. Here's the scenario; K just found out her best friend, M, had been kidnapped by the bad guy (MH). K just escaped from MH a few days ago and now she wants to go back and rescue her friend. But B, doesn't want her too. B says that he needs to keep her safe-K thinks that she needs to save her friend. K needs to end up like..running off on her own, but I'm not sure how to work it in

Well there's always the classic sneak out the window.
Or, she could pretend to be going to the bathroom, turn the light on, close the door and lock it, but not go in, and sneak off that way.....not sure if it'd work or not.

They could be out in a store or something, and she says she's going to go to the next aisle to look around, and then sneak away.

Okay, so I'm writing two stories about Irish Immigrants. That means two weeks on a ship which is TERRIBLY boring to write about and probably to read about. Any suggestions on how I can fill those two weeks or a tactful way of saying "And so two weeks went by and now they are at their destination"

Ha. I get your point Jes. Well you could make crazy storms come, make the MC meet strange characters etc. Or try something with loaded language like: And, after many harsh and treacherous winds that shook the sea and beat the ship, they at last reached land.
