Writer's Block?

As far as I know every writer experiences writer's block at least once. I can tell you it's very frustrating.

For the last week I have been staring at my laptop screen. I'm a quarter of the way through chapter 6 and stuck. Oh, I know what is going to happen. The problem is who does it and how it is done is eluding me. 

I have found that outlining each chapter doesn't work for me, the characters seem to take the story in their own direction than where I wanted it to go. So now, I guess I'm stuck until they decide what they want to do. 

Along with not knowing the who and how of the action, I also want to get a clue or red herring in the chapter. I'm not sure what that will be. I know it will come to me after I get past this block.

Perhaps I'll do some research and see if I can find a resolution to my writer's block. There's bound to be some suggestions on the internet.

Wishing you a good day,

Tammy
