Stephen Alder
I have occasionally tried to plow through a tough spot in a writing job when I feel compelled to meet a deadline. Sometimes when I press against the wall I can break through it. But that is exhausting. I usually switch to another section or part of the story where I have a better flow. When I switch back to the tough spot, I can see it with a fresh perspective and this helps trigger the creativity.
