I know where I am in the narrative and where I want to be, but I can't figure out a way to get from here to there while being realistic. I have a rough outline of the story which keeps me focussed. I will force myself to write a bad scene just to get to the next part of the story. Writing the next part in the narrative often helps me work through the logical progression for the critical scene I just wrote so poorly. It gives me the writer's insight I need that allows me to go back later and clean the scene up. If I have to, I just skip the critical scene and move to the next part of the story. Then I go back and fill in the critical scene later - two similar ways I get over writer's block.(less)
