Writer's block

I have it! I am on page 12 of my manuscript... only page 12... and I have writers block. I am a slow writer so page 12 is like major progress for me, but I need to write page 13, but I don't know where to go. I feel like I take too much control of my work and I should just let go and write what my fingers manage to punch out.

How do you guys do it??

You'll figure out the block, Jyoti! Page 12 will morph into page 13. We're all here for each other!

Always stuck,

i agree with all the comments - and I'm super glad Matthew has talked you through it! But another way to work it out is to skip over the part thats stalling you and move to the next section...odds are, while you're there in the next section, the inspiration as to what you need to do in the missing part will come!
