Hello, you. Haven't seen you in a bit.

I write all the time. The thing that gets me out of my block is a change of atmosphere. A lot of people tend to go to the same place to write, like somewhere off in the woods or the same type of area, I do the opposite; I try to go somewhere where I've never been as it tends to evoke new and untested feelings or emotions.
Well, if you're lucky it does.

Also, when I'm painting and I get stuck I just have a few cocktails. Nine times out of ten it helps me work through whatever issue I'm having. Annnd one time out of ten it turns what I'm working on into a piece of utter shit but that's the chance I'm willing to take.

For your story, how about this: Have your characters prepare to fight initially, with the frantic thoughts and action that occurs, but then something distracts their adversary and they slip away and then bolt.

I always battle writers block with a shift in narrative focus. I plot heavily, so there' always a place down stream I can explore. changes the overall product, but that's why it's called a process.

My other standby involves music and drinks or books on tape. reading has never helped me get back to my own work, but listening to someone else's story has. don't know why, but it works for me. in both instances I think this works for me by focusing my to receive and process in a different way. John Coltrane and rye whiskey kick ass for this.

Most importantly, trust yourself. It will be good.

If I ever were to be in a picture with you, I would gladly donate to a cause I'd give to, anyway. That's pretty cool about Selma Blair, actually.

Actors have coke habits? (gasp)

What Zen said. See if going to a new writing environment triggers something. Or like what Tad said. Try listening to some music you normally wouldn't - oldies, classical, folk, etc..., as long as it's tolerable.

Aside from binaural or isochronic tones that can put your mind in a state of creativeness (apps on iPhone and PC do this), write out both paths a bit and see which feels natural or focus on said characters backstories till you get a real feel for what they'd do given the situation at that time.

I find when i write i really have to do it all at once in a stream of consciousness. If I walk away i kinda fade out. Sometimes reading things similar to what i'm working on helps me.

It's not your decision; it's your characters' decision. Have them argue with each other until they decide what to do, or until circumstances force a decision on them. If it's just one character, they can have an internal debate with themselves. The thing is, you're not a god; you're not in control. You're just the writer.

pick an action, write it, and see how it goes. you can always change it later!

After working and attending a variety of conventions here and there, I'm in agreement with the photos and autographs. It's one thing to charge way too much for something so simple and another thing to donate the money to a good cause. Not that I'd ever make to some status where people actually want my autograph... although I will gladly sign all tin copies of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre because my head pops up in one of the documentaries twice...where was I? hehe
Well, I think I'll have to try some of these ideas to get myself out of writer's block so I can attempt to re-start my ideas for poems, movies, and comics that never yet came to be. Otherwise I'd offer advice if I wasn't in the same place.

I just read an article about a guy who couldn't think of a charity event to do for his church, so he chose a random book and opened a random page and found his inspiration on that page. His solution (in case you were wondering) was to have the priest sit in the bell tower for 48 hours. He raised $6,000.

I know it isn't quite the same, but I figured you might be able to extend this to your own purposes.
