Often with me, I'll get stuck because I don't know what to do with the plot: I know where I want the story to end up, but I can't work out how to get it there. I've got at least one story in long-term storage for that reason.

More often, though, I'll get hung up over a detail in the scene I'm working on. Usually I go away for a bit (say, a day or two) come back, write a couple paragraphs ... and run up against another difficult detail.

Not really sure what to do about this, other than keep writing and hope it gets easier.

I haven't read a whole lot from Mr. Smith's website yet, and most of what I have read I skimmed. I agree with the points you raise, and I also find that a lot of what he says challenges some pretty ingrained notions I have. Whether I ultimately agree with him or not, I think it's really helpful to have them challenged like that.
