But maybe banging your head against the wall isn't the best way to deal with it. Ursula and other published writers do talk about pieces that they put aside because they just weren't going anywhere. Just because one piece of work stalls doesn't mean you aren't "a writer". Maybe you just need to take a break and come back to that piece later. Yes I realize you have more than one stalled piece. Maybe we can set a goal of 50 stalled pieces. When you have 50 stories that have stalled. I can come down and talk to you about them and see if we can find a way to get one of them moving again.
Writers are people who write. But that doesn't mean that they work on one story until it is finished. Just find something to write about.
Remember: Who is the protagonist and what does she want?
