I grew up with those questions. Yet I did not think of them when I was stuck. A "duh" moment for sure! Thanks for the reminder.

That is great advice! I'll have to remember them.
Ooo! I'm commenting, I'm commenting!!
This is good timing since I'm struggling my way through a WiP right now.
Thanks!
I agree with Mary. Too often we writers get stuck for reasons that are actually quite silly if we stop and think about it for a moment. This is going in my list of quotes for certain.
Recently I've been asking myself a lot of "what if"s and "why"s. But is seems like the more I get into it the more questions pop up! Will it ever end?! ^_^
This is great. I needed this advice. Thanks.
Answering the 5W's can help out with a load of different jams :-)
In the CD, I quote Sue Grafton, who had the following bit of marvelously pertinent wisdom: "If you know the questions, you know the answers." So, as authors, the best favor we can do for ourselves is to never stop asking questions.
