Stalled Novel

Well, my novel's spinning its wheels right now. More precisely, I'm spinning my wheels instead of working on my novel right now. I decided that I needed another wrinkle in the plot. I decided what it was, but I haven't been able to make myself work on it since then. Instead of working on that, I'm taking a break. I've had some ideas for short stories, and I'm working on those. I'm tentatively calling the first one "Voodoo Christmas." Should be fun. I'll let you know if anything comes of it.
