    You have pointed out my situation with the pushing through tip.
    I am writing the plot to get the story to make sense. And it is so difficult! Thank you for the tip and humour!😂

    I love the advice of leaving yourself notes! I use my iPad with my Apple Pencil and go through to highlight things that I don’t like/want to change or add and leave myself ridiculous little notes off to the side of why and what is wrong with it!

    For hard scenes to write, its usually two things causing it for me: too much is coming through my mind at once (like five people trying to run through a doorway simultaneously) or too little is coming.
    For "too much" problems, i usually need "a sub-outline for my outline". I speed race through and list everything i want to happen, then i reorganize them (Cut and Paste) all over the page.
    For "too little" problems, i find references.
    There was a scene i was doing with a character falling into a roaring river. I can't swim. Dont go near water. NOTHING was coming.
    I took inspiration from how VFX software uses real footage to model how real objects are lit and how they interact with objects.
    Then I looked up TH-cam GoPro footage of people going down white water rapids and i observed all the relevant sensory details and went back and forth plugging it into the story.
    That scene is one of my favorite scenes now.
    There was also a scene where characters do a heist and i watched the CIA vault heist from Mission Impossible i and borrowed the scene structure used in the movie.
    Worked better than i thought. That whole beat was chefs kiss🤌
