Regaining Momentum

Writing a story you love is like slow dancing with someone you love. 

What would you do if halfway through the dance you lost your momentum? You could stick it out by force of will but that would be no fun and the dance itself would be pretty awkward, perhaps even alienating your partner. So you'd walk away, take a break, plead exhaustion ... whatever. 


Does this mean that you will never dance with this person again? Of course not. Now you may choose to listen to different music, experiment with various other dancing styles ... and for awhile you forget about the prior dance and your prior partner. This is good because in the process your mind is clearing.


Without warning you want the old dance back again.Your partner appears like magic, the old music rears up and away you go.
