Writer's block isn't always about word constipation. Sometimes, the words flow like too much chocolate. They just don't take the story anywhere. You reach the point where you know that if you write anything, you're gonna have to take it out. My writers' group is already complaining.
Sometimes, writer's block isn't about words, it's about plot points. My character, a discipula incognita from off-world, was given something before she left for (present-day) Earth. She is supposed to leave it here when she goes home. But how she should go about that she has no idea. What I know so far is that the Bad Guys® want to destroy it, and yes, I do know why. So, it seems she must get the thing into the hands of some particular somebody who can and will protect it. But how?
See, I have to decide that before I can go on with the story.
