Writer’s block…

Or stuck in a rut, rather.  Does that count as writer’s block?  I’m having a really hard time deciding what exactly I should be working on.  I feel like the beginning is still really rough (especially after sending off the first two chapters of the NEW novel to my writing group and realizing how many notes I still had to myself).  And I feel like that roughness and those notes require me doing more research and just thinking about how I want to solve those problems.  Then others just took me a few days of not even considering them, yet when I sat down and looked at them again (or one in particular that I’m thinking of), it’s like it fixed itself.  What’s a girl to do?

Then there’s the halfway point.  I’ve reached a certain point where I’m not sure where I want it to go.  I really like the interaction of the characters, so I want to keep working on that, but I haven’t exactly decided what’s going to happen next.  I have a few options…  She still needs to find out things, but I don’t want her to find them out on her own, but then there are certain things that can’t be revealed and while all this is going on, I need to make sure that I maintain her character because I really like her right now…

I think this definitely counts as writer’s block.
