So I have a deadline in two weeks for a fiction story. A few weeks ago, I thought--no problem. In a previously written story, a supporting character had caught my attention, and I wanted to know more about her. I figured my next story would be all about Polly.
Polly's not talking to me.
She's dead silent. Not even a tickle of inspiration or a sparkle of an idea. Polly's on vacation, somewhere I can't reach.
So, now what?
Unfortunately, it's all gone. There's nothing inside me. Not even a hint of a story to begin about any character for any reason.
I can't be the only writer this has happened to. What did you do to get the juices flowing again?
