IWSG: The Writer's Block Edition (#23)

Insecure Writers' Support Group (IWSG) is a really awesome meme that you should be doing along with the rest of us writers. Unless you truly are happy with your writing and don't feel the need to vent about your insecurities because they don't exist for you. But, really.... Don't they?  
IWSG is hosted by Captain Ninja Alex at his blog, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

It looks like it's that time of the month again, the Insecure Writers Support Group time. This month my writing insecurities are coming out and screaming at me, again. They haven't been so much in recent months, but they have returned from their sojourn.

This month I'm finding myself having trouble with a section of my novel work-in-progress that I have never been able to get clear about. While I have a lot of the story already planned, this is the portion I'm struggling to get through because I don't know what needs to happen. 

This might be caused by the fact that I never write long novels. Everything is much shorter, usually. So, I'm struggling to write something that has to be a bit long, maybe around 80,000 words, rather than a short novel, and it's tough. I'm having trouble making myself get the writing done that needs to be done and I'm procrastinating a lot, too. I hate when I do that. :(

The only thing I can think of to do to get through this is to really plan my scenes out ahead of my writing sessions. I guess I need to just write the summaries out for each scene in the order they need to appear because when I've done this in the past, it's really helped me to write. I usually know exactly what I'm going to write before I sit down to write, but I keep it in my head. Right now, I'm drawing a lot of blanks on how to get through this section of my novel.

Is this writer's block? I don't really know what that is because it seems like it can be defined in different ways. I figure it's some sort of writer's block. I'll just have to tough it out and plan, plan, plan.

Ever suffered from writer's block?
