So, I made a pretty common mistake in that I had a pretty solid outline in my WIP and then, for whatever reason, it wasn't working for me anymore so I veered off the path. Now I've hit a brick wall so to speak. I don't think of it as writer's block, since I'm not having trouble thinking of other scenes and other POVs that I'm currently working on. I'm a pretty linear writer though and I don't like to skip ahead if it's avoidable.
I think I have maybe 3 options:
1. Go back and rewrite the scene where I really started to veer.
2. Delete what I've come up with, make a new mini-outline and follow that.
3. Just write some "placeholder" stuff and come back and change it later.
I have basically two major POV characters in my story and one seems to be trucking along better than the other. Should I just go back to my other stronger POV character and go with him for the time being? Or should I do one of these three options I've listed (or something else)?
It's kind of ironic that I don't believe in writer's block, but I'm having this problem. I think this is more of a "I lost my way" sort of thing, than a block.
