Work on Tying the Knot has
again ground almost to a halt. As usual,
I don’t know why, and it’s painfully frustrating. Makes me want to throw my computer away. But what other work can I do? It was, for many years, my one big
talent. Now I can only stitch – and not
very well (note the lack of ribbons from the State Fair). No income from that. Maybe I should get into politics, there seem to be a lot of politicians who wind up very wealthy – plus, I’m very
opinionated. (Relax, that’s sarcasm!)
No, I’ll keep struggling with
this awhile longer.

For heaven's sake, don't throw your computer away! You know perfectly well I'll be stuck with resurrecting it!
My suggestion would be to go do something entirely unrelated to your writing--till your subconscious has figured out what happens next!
I agree with Linda. You might be trying too hard. I've done that and then I get panicky when words won't come which only makes it worse.
Betty, one thing I've been doing is going over and over what is there, replacing a word here and there. Very picky. Your advice, and Linda's, is sound.
I just go over the last chapter I've done, picking up a head of steam to use on the next chapter.
