Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
MM (not that I've ever finished anything I've started but) what works for me is to skip ahead to a place I had already thought about and write about that until the blanks are ready to be filled in.

My most recen tproblem is that I'll have a terrific idea, it gives me chills, it delights me, but as soon as it starts appearing on screen/paper, it goes blah.
I read stuff I've written, and it sings. Hell, I once caught myself reading an old Spike/Xander, AND I FORGOT I WROTE IT! And it was good! Where the hell did she go, that writer?

MWAH! This was great! Just what I needed to know, where to flesh it out a bit more, what was good so I can keep doing that.
Perfect.
Bless.

Great! You're so dead on about the narration, and making that crisper so that the POV is far more clear.

“Not dead yet!”
A good cheat, if you want to try it, is to take a section and change the pronouns to "I" for the character whose POV you want to highlight. In other words, sort of a poor man's first person POV-- it's a quick way to delineate where you want the POV shifts.
