Blow Shit Up!: A Guide to Method, Mayhem, Madness, and Magic for Writers Stuck in a Rut E-BOOK

"Where do you get your ideas?"

And what happens when the well runs dry?

If you spend any length of time writing fiction, it eventually happens to all authors—you hit a wall in your story and you aren't sure what to do next.

More accurately, you don't know what your characters are going to do next.

Even if you outlined your story within an inch of your characters' lives, now your book's bottomed out and blown a tire on a plothole in the center of your writing road, and you're stuck at midnight in the middle of nowhere, in the rain, with no cell coverage and no help in sight.

So to speak.

Or, worse, you're losing sleep over a looming deadline and panic's setting in.
