Writing Whinge

[shapinglight]

Still working on my WIP. Yesterday I managed about 2000 words. Today, I can only manage 200.

This may well be because I think I may have written myself into a bit of a corner.

Don't you hate it when that happens?

It's often a sign that you don't know enough about some aspect of the story - normally characterisation but could also be something factual related to the plot. Try stopping writing for a bit and really think it through. When you know where you are going you will be able to write again.

It is definitely factual. I have to plan this bit of the story a bit better. Writing on the fly is not going to do it.
