Argh! The hardest part of a story is the beginning. Trying to use some Shakespearian English for the characters at the beginning and not having a great sense of flow with it. Time to park for now and revisit later.
One method I tend to use to overcome being stalled at points is to write chapters out of sequence and come back to earlier chapters later. At least I make progress in some portion of the story and it can actually help set the table for an earlier part of the book where I might be stuck.
Still gotta overcome the Shakespearian English thing, though. Maybe I need to sit down and read some Shakespeare (I have a copy of the "Tempest" upstairs)?
Oh well, time to try again will be later. I'll be doing some furniture restoration with my son, time spent with the fam for New Years. Let's hope the creative juices will flow.
Late!
