Thanks for the helpful tip! 🙂 And I think your right sometimes as writers we do get stuck on the big picture, but sometimes it’s the little scenes that really grab our readers like how our characters view something.
Something I tend to do when I am stuck is brainstorming. 🙂 I go for a walk, take a notebook and think out loud, writing down all the ideas. Or I cheat and act slightly irresponsible. Over the years I have discovered that I brainstorm really well when I am supposed to be doing something else. Such as paying attention during class. I’m sure there’s a reason for this but I haven’t figured it out yet. Anyways I don’t suggest brainstorming during class like me, but maybe putting on a movie or a documentary hopefully about your topic, have a pen and notebook at the ready, and see what ideas you catch. 🙂
Or you could just tell us all about the scene and we could do a group chat? Sometimes I’ve found those help to. 🙂
