I have had a method that keeps me interested in the story that I am working on.
Every so often writers get 'blank periods', and writers' blanks are not very good, as we wish to keep an idea moving and continuous.
I do this—every so often, I put in some sort of completely unrelated incident or moment and when I bog down I then go to that point in the story to see if I can weave it into my yarn so far.
This written moment is not necessarily permanent—I mean all you have to do is highlight and press delete and it is gone—however, I do not delete this teaser until I am happy with the story as it is.
It is only mind games, but isn't writing fiction mind games?
