[stylist] do any other writers ever feel like this?

[Semirhage]

I've started writing a few books with my husband, and the characters didn'
t die for me so much as stall. Where I just can't hear what happens next. I 
do one of two things in that case or sometimes both. 1. Just put that boo,k 
on hold and work on other more active ones until the story fully percolates 
and comes to me or at least some more of it, or 2, take the characters into 
an email RPG where the plots are  entirely different from my book but I get 
to know them better and that often helps.
